Abstract

The accompanying increased traffic due to the rapid development of tourism at present calls for the better sustainability and equilibrium of tourism and traffic resources in the future. In recent decades, considerable attention has been paid to highway network planning, while studies focusing on sustainable tourism traffic networks, especially evaluation methods of limited tourism and traffic resources, have proven less successful. Through conceptual transfer, we proposed the tourism traffic matching curve, which not only simplifies the method of sustainability and equilibrium evaluation, but also ensures that the results are more direct and effective. In the upper layer, we analyzed the main factors of tourism traffic network development, which contributed to a comprehensive benefit-oriented multi-objective model of tourism traffic network in MATLAB. In this model, the long-neglected tourism economy radiation effect was considered, and a genetic algorithm was introduced in the solution. In the lower layer, the characteristics of the tourism traffic matching curve and the two crucial equilibrium indexes, the Tourism Traffic Uniformity Coefficient ( T L C U ) and Curvature Coefficient ( T L C C ), were provided. With instances from Guangdong Province, the proposed system was proven to be more efficient and concise than other systems, which identified the need for future research on establishing effective criteria and a theoretical analysis method for dynamic adjustment.
