Study on Sustainable Development of Highway Traffic in China

Abstract:

Based on sustainable development,the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with eight input indexes and four output indexes, was applied to evaluate the highway traffic sustainable development of 31 provinces in China. The result shows that the input and output of highway construction has reached the best combination at Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Tibet. GDP(Group Domestic Product) and social total retail sales of consumer goods can be improved by increasing input in eleven provinces. From the perspective of traffic safety,accident rates will be no major increase when the government enlarge investment of highway building in our country,These results imply that China is making strong progress in the road traffic environment.
