The document discusses Beijing's efforts to address traffic problems in preparation for the 2008 Olympics through various static and dynamic measures. Static measures included expanding subway lines and bus routes. Dynamic measures included an odd-even license plate restriction system during which vehicles with odd/even plates could only be driven on odd/even dates, reducing daily emissions by 40%. Over 60% of travelers switched to public transit as a result. The goal was to promote green transportation and make the 2008 Beijing Olympics both green and high-tech.

6. How serious the traffic problem is? Roads increases 4% per year Vehicles increases 10% per year The area of roads is 14% of the area of city Summer Olympics will attract numerous audiences and travelers, 200,000 athletes, journalists, officers and volunteers Green Beijing Green Olympic Games

7. How serious the traffic problem is? concentration of vehicle exhaust compared with the concentration of the whole city : 51% in hydrocarbons 64% in nitrogen oxides 92% in carbon monoxide 23.3% in inhalable particles Green Beijing Green Olympic Games

8. Green Olympics Three major themes of 2008 Beijing Olympic Games: the Green Olympics, the High-tech Olympics and the People's Olympics Core Not only contain green sports, but also extend to the court, to promote the function and idea of people and nature, people and people, people and harmonious development of environment.

9. to solve the problem static measures dynamic measures Green Beijing Green Olympic Games

10. 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

11. 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

12. 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

13. 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

14. transportation system Functional distribution of urban “ Simple center with circle roads” * traffic peak * connecting good, minimum distance bad urban expressway: 8% of urban roads ~ 50% vehicles e.g. bottleneck jam Green Beijing Green Olympic Games

15. public transportation network Public buses 1,200,000 passengers per day, increased 20% e.g. bus special line clean fuel Subway 3,000,000 passengers per day speed along the new line increased 10%-20% Green Beijing Green Olympic Games

16. public transportation network Price Public Transportation Card * buses: 40 cents per trip * subway: 2 yuan for all lines passengers increased 55% Green Beijing Green Olympic Games

17. public transportation network Fuel consumption a car : 10 liters one by bus : 0.54 liters one by subway : 0.5 liters Green Beijing Green Olympic Games
