With the development of the economy, the increase in population has placed more pressure and burden on the cities in the world. The Australian cities are no exception.

Victoria, Australia’s second-largest city, Victoria, Melbourne, Australia, recently launched a report entitled “Five-year focus – Immediate actions to tackle congestion” for congestion problems in Melbourne.
This report focuses on the status quo in Melbourne, using a large number of big data collected through new technologies, using some very scientific and creative models.
Based on the analysis of traffic flow and use in Melbourne, the paper concludes the status quo and future trends of traffic congestion in Melbourne, and proposes some short-term governance plans that are worthy of understanding and worthy of learning from other Australian cities.

Melbourne’s existing traffic conditions:

Melbourne’s public transport system reduces about 540,000 cars every day;
