Abstract: As China's urban traffic is growing, increasingly severe traffic congestion problems have constrained the city’s healthy development. As a key node in urban transportation, road intersection should be given high attention. Point sample method is adopted to conduct field estimation on five districts and 15 Intersections of Beijing City, and congestion index for evaluating urban intersection service level is proposed in this paper. By analyzing the service level of intersections in Beijing, this paper also puts forward the necessity and methods of quantitative management for traffic operation: computer and communication technologies can be fully used to build real-time traffic running state evaluation system. The traffic management costs should be quantified and the traffic management allocation of resources be optimized.
