Abstract :
Spreading the energy-circle cards is an effective way that is being developed by governments to advance individuals and corporations to choose more environmentally friendly methods of transportation. An energy-circle card is a smart magnetic card whose shape and size is the same as a phone card. It is cheap and very convenient to take anywhere. It will register the conditions that individuals and corporations who use environmental means of transportation under the correlative regulations, and they will get paid by money or energy in other ways. The platform encourages individuals and corporations to use environmentally friendly means of transportation consciously and voluntarily, agreeing with the policy about the sustainable development and low carbon economy in China. The using and dissemination of the energy-circle cards platform will improve the busy traffic conditions in big cities effectively. In this paper we will discuss the applied perspective of the energy-circle cards platform in modern cities, applied aspects, feasibility, impacts on urban traffic management and specific ways to put intelligent urban traffic management system based on the energy-circle cards platform (the IUTMS) in to practice according to the development situations at home and abroad.
