The Research Of Beijing Road Transportation System Based On Theory Of Constraints' Thinking Process

With the economic and social development, the number of Beijing's automobiles continues to grow, and people's travel has become increasingly difficult. Therefore, how to ease Beijing's road congestion to better meet the needs of travel has become an important question to study.The Theory of Constraints (TOC), very prevalent in western countries, is a philosophy of continuous improvement, and has a very wide range of applications. Thinking process (TP) is one of the three branches of TOC, which is a generic approach for investigating, analyzing and solving problem. TP's universality makes it possible to apply to the issue of Beijing's road transportation.This paper, from the beginning of"what to change?"to the last of"How to change?", analyzes the whole process of using Thinking Process on Beijing's road transportation system, At last, this paper proposes the following four aspects of measures to deal with Beijing transportation system problems: urban public transport, road infrastructure, government policy and guidance, road traffic management. In the process of the analyzing, combined with the characteristics of Beijing's road transportation system, we make breakthrough on the Thinking Process in the following four aspects: First, proposing the acquisition approach of undesirable effect. Second, consistency test to the constructed current reality tress. Third, a approach used to lower the difficulty of construction future reality tree. The last, reinforcing the construction method of prerequisite tree.There are very limited number literatures that applied the Thinking Process in the public service field, so to some extent, this paper broadens the thinking process applications. This study, using the theory of Thinking Process to study Beijing road transportation system, systematically analyzes the current reality of Beijing road transportation system and proposes a comprehensive program to solve Beijing's road transportation problems, which has important social and economic significance to ease Beijing's road congestion to better meet the needs of transportation.
