Abstract
A city has a very complex transportation network. It is very hard for city planners to evaluate it in both micro scale and macro scale and so far most of these works have been done empirically. In this study a new method named Distributive Continuous Fractal Analysis will be introduced to evaluate the transportation networks. Previous researches treat a city as a whole and did fractal analyses between cities. This study tries to treat a city as distributive continuous space and deploys the fractal analysis on every piece of space. With the power of high end computer and GIS platform this analysis can be done in few hours and shows the results to the planners visually. Comparing with the other subsystems will make the policy maker or planner see the detailed situations of a city more clearly and intuitively and they can easily make some decisions or predictions.
