In this paper, it analyses the geographical location and natural conditions in the Corps, the general state of economic and social development, and the distribution and characteristics of the economic region. At the same time, it analyzes the status of the development of highway traffic in Corps from the construction of transportation infrastructure and the development of road transport and some other sides.Thirdly, the paper studies the mechanism of the influence from highway traffic in Corps to the society and economy. It proposed the double-loop relationship between the development of highway traffic and the growth of economy, and then it analyses the link between highway traffic and the industrial layout.Fourthly, the paper introduces the theoretical methods of the traffic and the development of the economy and society. From the industrial and foreign trade, it analyses the mechanism of the impact from highway traffic to the development of the economy and society, and defines the impact from highway traffic to the development of the economy and society in four aspects, such as the direct contribution, indirect contribution, induced contribution and pulling employment contribution. It also builds calculation methodology of the kinds of contributions above.Fifthly, qualitative research of the impact from highway traffic to the development of the economy and society has been done. It analyses the influence that the highway traffic of Crops brings to the industrial structure and the resource exploitation, and the impact to the border trade, the "non-agricultural" population and the urbanization.

The results indicate that the overall level of influence performance on economy and society with the funds of the highway traffic and vehicles into traffic from 2001 to 2009 is high.Finally, the study proposes some ideas of the development of highway traffic in a new particular period, and puts forward several policy recommendations on strengthening the construction of highway traffic in Corps by constructing traffic investment and financing system, exploring the-investment and financing mode of highway construction, and by the prior development of the fast trunk road network, strengthening scientific and technological innovation and some other aspects.
