To promote the development of traffic engineering disciplines in China, the progress, hot topics, existing problems and its countermeasures and development prospects of traffic engineering in academic researches at home and abroad were systematically summarized in 11 aspects including traffic flow theory, traffic planning, road traffic safety, traffic control and intelligent transportation system, traffic management, traffic design, traffic service facilities and electrical facilities, ground public transit, urban parking transportation, traffic big data, and traffic evaluation. In the aspect of traffic flow theory, fundamental diagram model of traffic flow, microscopic and mesoscopic traffic flow theories and their simulations, macroscopic traffic flow theory, and network theory of traffic flow were reviewed. As for traffic planning, traffic and land utilization, traffic and sustainable development, characteristics of traffic travelling behaviors, traffic survey methods and demand forecasting were summarized. Reviews of road traffic safety included traffic safety planning, facility safety, traffic safety management, traffic behavior, vehicle active safety, technical standards and norms of traffic safety, etc. Reviews of traffic control and intelligent transportation systems included traffic signal control,corridor control,traffic control and traffic assignment,cooperative vehicle-infrastructure system and intelligent vehicle system,etc. As for traffic management, traffic laws and order management, traffic system management, traffic demand management, and abnormal traffic management were reviewed. In terms of traffic design, traffic network design, node traffic design, traffic design of urban road, the bus traffic design, and traffic language design were summed up. The review on the aspect of ground public transit involved transit industry regulation and service evaluation, planning and optimization of public transit network, transit operation management and intelligent technology, and the new transit system. As for urban parking transportation, urban parking demand, planning and design of parking facilities, parking management and policies, and intelligentization and informatization of parking were expounded comprehensively. As for traffic big data, the researches on the application of mobile phone data, transit IC card, GPS track and license plate recognition, and social media data to traffic system analysis, especially the research progress in investigation of individual travelling behavior were reviewed. In the aspect of traffic evaluation, the assessments of social and economic impact and traffic impact on traffic construction projects were analyzed.
