Abstract

This paper combines traffic statistics of six typical Asian cities, including population density, GDP per capita, mode share, etc., and provides an in-depth analysis of the cities’ traffic situation. We summarized relationships between income, population density, transportation infrastructure, transportation policies in each city, and the mode of transportation in each area. We find that the population density in a town dramatically impacts the public transit systems, and there are significant relationships between the local travel policies and the mode share. In addition to the conclusions, we summarized the existing problems in this paper and made suggestions for future research in the field.
