Abstract

Using traffic flow principle, this paper derives a formula of the optimum road length of the container port with the most traffic capacity. The paper resolves the problem of time and space integration according to the geometry principle based on the hypothesis of linear density distribution. By means of city road investigating, the paper practically surveys the traffic parameters of container trucks in the port and gets the data. By analyzing these data, it finally gets the parameters, which reflect the container truck flow in the port.
