With many research achievements, School of Traffic and Transportation has played an important role in the development of national major projects and traffic and transportation service industry. Our school has contributed a lot in theory and practice research to current rail track speed increase, high-speed railway, heavy haulage, Qinghai-Tibet railway, railway freight and logistics. Also, Beijing ITS planning, automobile tail emission detection, bus-scheduling, and research in national logistics-related planning and policies undertook by our School provide great support and service for local economy and industry development. During the time period of “12th Five-year Plan”, School started 1129 scientific research projects with an expenditure of 296.96 million yuan, including national “973” projects (the first in the field of traffic and transportation), scientific and technological support plans, “863” projects, Natural Science Foundation of China projects, China Railways Corporation (previously known as the Ministry of Railways) , the Ministry of Traffic and Transportation projects, and numerous enterprise projects from the industry; published 187 SCI papers, 282 EI papers, 37 invention patents, 37 monographs; won 2 national awards, 13 provincial awards and many awards from industry association.
