Several Thoughts on Application of Urban Traffic Management Engineering Technology

Abstract

By combining the development process of foreign Traffic Management Engineering Technology(TMET), this paper discusses the experience derived from traffic infrastructure, intelligent transportation system(ITS) technology and traffic engineering consulting industry development. Through a comparison of TMET in our country, we analyze issues in development process such as extensive TMET application, management and control system functions integration, ITS development, and propose that the development of ITS technology must be based on the adequate applications of the technology in traffic management engineering. But at present stage, the development of traffic management engineering technology is not enough. By a systematic analysis of problems in the fields of development planning, resource utilization, system function, and technical support, consulting, we reflect on the appearance and underlying causes of these issues. Learning from practical experience of foreign TMET, combined with China's urban traffic development, we put forward ideas and suggestions including TMET,ITS technology development, traffic management and control means, engineering and technical consulting industry, technology innovation alliances, so as to play a positive role in promoting adjustments of urban transport policy, progress of TMET, and the construction of intelligent transportation system for our country.
