1. Backgrounds1. Backgrounds

Traffic problems get more and more serious

Fast increasing of vehicles

Energy sources waste Safety and environment Development of some

advanced techniques

The Comparison for Growth The Comparison for Growth Rate of Vehicles and RoadsRate of Vehicles and Roads

Traffic Situation on 3rd Ring In Beijing

Urban Road Traffic Situation in Beijing

Traffic situation at the intersection in Ningbo

Measures to Urban Traffic ProblemsMeasures to Urban Traffic Problems

Land use pattern Integrated comprehensive transport

systems:change the modal split Improvement of road traffic Travel demand Management.

Measures to Urban Traffic ProblemsMeasures to Urban Traffic Problems

Priority for development of public transport(Investment, Management, Improving of service level)

Strength the traffic engineering Extensive traffic education Enforcement is strictly done; High technologies are taken extensively; Travel demand Management.

2. Characteristics2. Characteristics

Transport infrastructures– In China, large-scale transport infrastructure construction is

at an early stage, the software and the hardware of ITS can be integrated simultaneously.

– Some necessary conditions of ITS deployment are not mature.

Research foundation– The accumulations of ITS research achievements are not en

ough. – It is necessary to absorb all of the experiences from

overseas and incorporate the situations of China.

2. Characteristics2. Characteristics

ITS deployment environment– The travelers violate traffic regulations frequently.

– Therefore, the effects of the ITS deployments in China is not so satisfactory as in the developed countries

– But in China, the target of ITS research and deployments is not only to enhance the traffic capacity but also to regulate the behaviors of travelers.
