Evaluation Of Urban Transportation Structure

Nowadays, China is in the stage of rapid development of urbanization. A large number of population crowding into cities and the increasing expansion of city size, especially in large cities, cause a series of traffic problems, such as traffic congestion, accidents, environmental pollution and so on. To some extent, the traffic problems have become one of the bottlenecks in the city development. How to solve traffic problems, break this bottleneck and promote the sustainable development of urbanization is the starting point of this study.To solve urban traffic problems, we should increase investment in urban road infrastructure to improve urban traffic capacity. It is essential, but establishing a reasonable structure of transportation is more important. Comparing and analyzing characteristics of the various transport modes is the foundation. In this paper, using AHP method to evaluate various means of transport, on this basis try to propose for a rational urban transportation structure. This paper is divided into three large parts:The first part is introduction, including the first two chapters. Chapter One presents information on the background, significance, contents and methods, and summarizes the relevant theory and study home and abroad. Chapter Two generalizes the history and status of modes of transportation homes outs. This part lays the foundation for the main part next. The second part is the main body of this paper. Chapter Three analyzes the characteristics of various modes of transportation; in Chapter Four, using the AHP, evaluates each mode of transportation, and concludes that urban rail transit will be the way of urban transportation in future, while increase investment on mini cars and three-dimensional fast bus. Finally, Chapter Five, taking the case of Shanghai, studies the status quo of its modes of transportation and offers some suggestions. The last part is the conclusion. This part sums up the main conclusions of the study and shortcomings, and also does a cautious rethink of the development of urban transportation in China in the future.
