Advancing a Scientific Development of Transportation to Construct a Transit-Oriented Beijing

Abstract

First this paper reviews experiences gained at home and abroad in transportation developments ranging from the initial construction of large scale transportation facilities,to mass development of railway and transit systems,and to implementation of travel demand management(TDM) policies as well as concerns to green transportation.The author points out that only through a prioritized transit development in association with TDM policies can such issues as related to transportation,environment,and energy be addressed.Then the paper discusses a development pattern to construct a transit-oriented city based on an analysis of the accomplishments resulted from transportation strategies that favor transit development in Beijing,and specifies the definition of transit-oriented city as well as other concepts that materialize humanism,technology,and green transportation.Finally,the paper presents some measures to construct a transit-oriented city,and these measures include raising transit LOS,improving ped and bike systems,building a cargo delivery system,and promoting civilization in trans-portation development.
