Abstract: To address the problems of high urban traffic congestion index, high accident rate, and low public transportation utilisation rate in traditional urban traffic environment construction methods, a research method for construction and application of urban transportation environment under the concept of green and low-carbon is proposed. Analyse the feasibility of the green and low-carbon concept in the construction of urban transportation environment, starting from the promotion and application of new energy vehicles, the construction of intelligent transportation systems, the construction of green transportation infrastructure, the cultivation of green travel culture, comprehensive planning and policy formulation, etc., to complete the urban transportation environment. Analysis of the case study outcomes reveals that the method under consideration yields a peak urban traffic congestion index of 0.16, a highest recorded urban traffic accident frequency of 7.89%, and a lowest observed rate of urban public transportation usage at 42.16%.

Keywords: green and low-carbon concept; urban transportation environment; construction and application; green transportation infrastructure.
