In modern urban planning, traffic management and planning are considered essential elements in urban planning and design. In fact, there is an increasing need to consider and apply certain policies for traffic system improvement in the modern urban planning and management due to the important role of urban roads and their direct relationship with population growth in cities. The urbanization phenomenon in Iran and the increasing number of automobiles in its cities have led to an exponential growth in urban traffic, which is the main concern of urban managers in Tabriz Metropolis in this country. Considering the current conditions in Tabriz, this study attempts to evaluate the traffic management and planning strategies in this city. Desk and field research methods were used for data collection. The related data was then analyzed using SPSS through the one-sample t-test and regression analysis. The mean value of the studied indicators for traffic planning improvement is 4.56, which is higher than the average and indicates the important role of the factors affecting traffic control planning improvement in Tabriz. Finally, CORSIM was used to examine the high-traffic areas of Tabriz and evaluate the traffic volume reduction rate in this city.Downloads
