Features: This book is one of the "New Technologies in Civil Engineering" series compiled by the Department of Civil Engineering at Tsinghua University. It is the result of a series of research conducted by the authors and their research team on urban traffic issues, particularly focusing on the efficiency of urban transportation systems and the development strategies for urban road traffic management. The book primarily elaborates on three major parts. The first part addresses transportation system efficiency issues, including definitions, influencing factors, evaluation indicators, and countermeasures to improve transportation efficiency. The second part presents a comparative analysis of transportation systems in major cities both domestically and internationally, covering urban structures, land use patterns, transportation systems, traffic management systems, and policies. The third part explores solutions to urban traffic problems and strategies to enhance transportation system efficiency from the perspective of traffic management, including traffic congestion, traffic accidents, environmental pollution, and mixed traffic management strategies. This book serves as a reference for professionals engaged in urban traffic research, planning, design, management, and the formulation of urban traffic policies.
