to solve the problem

static measures

dynamic measures

static measures long-term: construction and management of municipal traffic infrastructure, as well as urban transportation planning e.g. 8 new subway lines and 650 bus lines extension of the international airport For Olympics: e.g. the underground Olympic Branch Line 200 km Olympic Bus Lane Green Beijing Green Olympic Games

extension of the international airport

For Olympics:

e.g. the underground Olympic Branch Line

200 km Olympic Bus Lane

dynamic measures Intelligent traffic system e.g. advanced transportation comprehensive analysis digital equipment special approaches e.g. travel restriction depending on odd or even vehicle license plate number Green Beijing Green Olympic Games

dynamic measures

Intelligent traffic system

e.g. advanced transportation comprehensive analysis digital equipment

special approaches

e.g. travel restriction depending on odd or even vehicle license plate number

travel restriction Successful test (August 17th-20th, 2007) Rules: vehicles with odd license plate numbers can only drive on odd days, while vehicles with even numbers can only drive on even days Result: 1.26-1.31 million vehicles “stealthy” every day vehicle exhaust emission reduced by 40% Green Beijing Green Olympic Games

travel restriction

Successful test (August 17th-20th, 2007)

Rules: vehicles with odd license plate numbers can only drive on odd days, while vehicles with even numbers can only drive on even days

Result: 1.26-1.31 million vehicles “stealthy” every day

vehicle exhaust emission reduced by 40%

travel restriction Combining with rational measures and supplements e.g. special vehicles, buses, taxis 700-800 extra buses added per day subway lines hours of operation increased different working hour Result: 60% travelers, which equal to 2 million population, transferred into public transport Green Beijing Green Olympic Games
