  • In order to analyze the traffic flow space-time distribution characteristics of medium city in fast urbanization area, vehicle class composition, the temporal and spatial distribution characteristics of traffic flow, and road network characteristics were statistically studied based on the traffic flow survey data of comprehensive transportation planning for Dongguan in 2008. The traffic load of base road network was comprehensively evaluated by using traffic planning software TransCAD.The current traffic situation in Dongguan was anatomized. The traffic development strategies of medium city were put forward. Analysis result indicates that the trip proportion of car is very high, the development of public transportation lags behind, transport infrastructure has a serious shortage, the mixed running phenomenon of passenger-freight traffic and transit traffic is serious in access points, road network structure is defective, and road function is not clear in medium city. Traffic strategies are suggested, including improving road network system, optimizing the structure of urban traffic, building efficient public transport system, regulating traffic management, and coordinating transportation and land use.
