Research on Evaluation of Urban Road Congestion

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents an urban road traffic evaluation system from traffic behavior, transport, traffic supply and traffic concept using the analytic hierarchy process techniques. We collect data by distributing questionnaires in Qingdao and determine the congestion evaluation index system after processing the data by factor analysis. The system is designed to emulate human's expertise on specifying four levels of traffic congestion within the urban area. Case analysis shows that our evaluation system is provided for the government to manage urban traffic networks.
