Research on Traffic Congestion Management in Xian City Based on Transit-Oriented Development

Abstract

Xian City has developed rapidly in recent years, with a significant increase in automobiles. However, this has led to an exacerbation of traffic congestion and a decline in the citys traffic capacity, which has harmed the overall image and development of the city. Therefore, solving Xians traffic congestion problem is of great significance. Although some attempts have been made in the past to address traffic congestion in Xian, the problem remains a challenge due to its complexity and the emphasis on increasing traffic supply rather than reducing traffic demand. Transit-oriented development (TOD) is a concept that refers to the idea of public transportation guiding urban development. It is an important theory in the new urbanism movement and has significant guiding significance for addressing urban problems. This paper draws on the experience of managing traffic congestion under a TOD approach in foreign countries and proposes effective strategies for solving Xians traffic congestion problem, including leading transportation and urban coordinated development with a TOD approach, optimizing public transportation infrastructure, establishing a comprehensive TOD management institution, and setting up special departments and policies for funding.
