Abstract

Establishment of urban low-carbon transportation system is the main means to achieve urban low-carbon transport. Learn from the advanced experience of foreign countries, the construction of urban low-carbon transport system mainly consists of the layout of urban traffic, the public transport system construction, the main optimization of the traveling population, the development of the transport of low-carbon technologies and the improvement of traffic management policies. As to how to realize low-carbon transport, this paper first analyzes the energy consumption and carbon emissions; then it illustrates the concept and connotation of low-carbon transport; then it raises the above five aspects of the construction of urban low-carbon transport system. Finally, based on china national conditions, the paper proposes some suggestions for establishing green transportation system characterized by low-carbon and promoting sustainable urban development.
