Abstract
In order to mitigate traffic congestion and protect the environment, this paper proposes a traffic management policy called travel reservation policy. The successful implementation of policies depends on the study of the acceptability of policies. Therefore, to accomplish the analysis of acceptability, questionnaire surveys were carried out with travelers who live in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. The collected data were processed and analyzed in Statistical Product Service Solutions (SPSS) using the Mann–Whitney U test. As a result, more than half of travelers were willing to accept policies regarding travel reservation. Acceptability was found to be higher with increase in age and decrease in the number of private cars during the survey. The results can be informative and practically used for developing travel reservation policies.
