Abstract

One of the important issues in solving urban problems such as traffic is lack of recognition or evaluation of management solutions in this field. It's clear that through identifying & evaluating various solutions in this field, not only problem solving can be accelerated, but also waste of management costs can be reduced. So, the purpose of the study is identifying & evaluating management & planning solutions in controlling urban traffic in Tabriz metropolis. Kind of research in terms of nature is analytic – comparative, and in terms of goal is practical. Data gathering and its related information is done by library & field methods. In field studies, we have been used Delphi method (using expert's viewpoints) and after final approval of guidelines, the required information has been collected throng providing questionnaire. Data analysis is done by one sample T – test, K – s, Variance analysis and regression (in Spss software). Results from one sample T – test show that the Average amount of studied solutions in order to control traffic is generally higher than the average rate (3.95). Results from regression test also show that people participation approach with beta of 0.360 and smart transportation systems with beta of 0.329 have the most significant effect on traffic control in Tabriz and infrastructure solutions and plans and urban projects with Beta coefficient of 0.160 have had less impact on traffic control of Tabriz.
