Abstract

ABSTRACTTaking the main urban area of Chongqing as the research area, this paper combines the content of urban green transportation and sustainable development, characteristics of mountain cities and factors affecting green transportation. The relevant indexes of urban green traffic evaluation index system are screened by taking into account the availability of each indicator data, while a comprehensive evaluation index system of green traffic suitable for mountain cities is established. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Information Entropy Method are used to determine the weight of each factor and the combination weight of each index in the urban traffic green evaluation index system. Then, the weights of the evaluation factors and indicators are combined and empowered. Combining ArcGIS software with evaluation model, data collection and evaluation of green traffic indicators are carried out in nine districts of Chongqing. Finally, suggestions and improvement measures are put forward to promote the development of green traffic in Chongqing.

Highlights

  • Since the twenty-first century, ecological and environmental problems, such as global warming, carbon imbalance, loss of biodiversity, energy shortage and environmental degradation, have been worse, and sustainable urban development has become one of the global challenges

  • Many scholars introduced the conception of sustainable development proposed in 1987 into the development of transportation system, which called urban traffic sustainable development theory (He, 2009; Peter & Kenworthy, 1999)

  • Based on sustainable development theory, this papers to investigate the comprehensive evaluation of green traffic in Chongqing main urban area

Summary

Introduction

Since the twenty-first century, ecological and environmental problems, such as global warming, carbon imbalance, loss of biodiversity, energy shortage and environmental degradation, have been worse, and sustainable urban development has become one of the global challenges. Based on sustainable development theory, this papers to investigate the comprehensive evaluation of green traffic in Chongqing main urban area. The evaluation index system of urban traffic system in mountain area is constructed, and data. To establish an evaluation index system for evaluating the green transportation of mountainous cities comprehensively, the selected indicators need to be made moderately difficult and easy to operate. This study uses tower structure to construct the evaluation index system of green traffic in mountainous cities. A comprehensive urban green traffic evaluation index system for mountainous areas is established. The comprehensive evaluation of green traffic in mountainous cities (A) is the target, and which contains three criteria layers, including transportation facilities level (B1), traffic service quality (B2) and urban environment (B3)
