Research Report of Urban Intelligent Public Transport System Construction and Application

RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF HIGHWAY, MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT

The research report is one of achievements of GEF “Large City Congestion and Carbon Reduction Project”. With filling in the gap in engineering guidance for domestic intelligent public transport system construction as its core objective, this report updates the framework of urban intelligent public transport system of China, studies and proposes suggestions on construction and application of five sub-systems, namely intelligent dispatching system, signal priority system, information service system, bus lane management system and decision support system. Meanwhile, government-market relations and division of labor are discussed. Reasearch results provide theory and practical guidance for the development of urban intelligent public transport system in China, to improve the urban public transport dispatching and management level, increase attraction of public transport, alleviate city traffic congestion and reduce environmental pollution caused by carbon emissions from motor vehicles.

By organizing various forms of investigations on the intelligent public transport system construction and application in domestic and foreign typical cities, further research on the actual demands of the domestic urban transportation sector management department is done. On the basis of Construction Guidance of the Urban Intelligent Public Transport Application Demonstration Project (No. TYZ[2014]105) from Ministry of Transport, this report further improves the overall architecture of urban intelligent public transport system which includes application scenario, service functions, technical framework, physical architecture,etc. As obvious differences in the public transport development level and informatization condition exist among domestic cities, the study which includes function requirements, system framework, construction suggestions, system construction, operation and maintenance cost ,etc. is carried out to finish the guideline of urban intelligent public transport system construction and application.
