It has consistently ranked first or received an A+ rating in past national first-level discipline evaluations and has maintained the top position in ShanghaiRanking’s Best Chinese Subjects Ranking.

Disciplinary Features: 

The Systems Science discipline at Beijing Jiaotong University focuses on transportation systems. By applying the principles and methods of systems science, the discipline seeks to uncover the structural and functional relationships, evolution, and regulatory patterns of transportation and related complex systems. It aims to identify optimal control methods and management strategies for complex transportation systems, thereby providing scientific foundations and methodological support for transportation planning, design, and management. The discipline also extends its research foci to other complex systems.

Historical Development:

In 1998, the university was granted the right to confer master's degrees in the second-level discipline of System Analysis and Integration. In 2000, it received authorization to confer master's degrees in the second-level discipline of Systems Theory. In 2003, it was granted the doctoral degree conferral right for the second-level discipline of System Analysis and Integration. In 2005, it gained the right to confer doctoral degrees in the first-level discipline of Systems Science.

During the first national first-level discipline evaluation organized by the Ministry of Education in 2004, Beijing Jiaotong University tied for first place with Beijing Normal University (where Systems Science is their traditionally strong discipline). The discipline maintained its first-place ranking in the 2008 and 2012 national evaluations. In 2016 and 2020, it received an A+ rating in the national discipline evaluations.

Our objective is to enhance the development of the "Smart Transportation" first-class discipline and grow its comprehensive strength: Leading by Systems Science, to develop a "Systems Science+" cluster of related disciplines; To optimize the allocation of resources for discipline development, promote deep interdisciplinary integration, cultivate new growth points, and establish cutting-edge disciplinary directions. The discipline aims to maintain a leading position domestically while expanding its global influence, and make significant contributions to meeting the country's major strategic needs.

Discipline Directions and Advantages:

The discipline is grounded in the transportation industry and fosters interdisciplinary integration between science and engineering. It involves extracting scientific problems from the practical complexities of transportation systems and applying theoretical outcomes to solve real-world issues. This approach has led to the development of a unique discipline construction model characterized by interdisciplinary collaboration, the integration of science and engineering, and a distinct focus on transportation. Currently, the first-level discipline of Systems Science at Beijing Jiaotong University is structured around four distinct research directions:

  1. Systems Theory and Complexity

This direction emphasizes the study of the fundamental properties and evolutionary mechanisms of transportation systems. It investigates various dynamic and complex characteristics, including the dynamics, nonlinearity, chaos, phase transitions, and self-organization of traffic flows (covering autonomous vehicles, human-driven vehicles, non-motorized vehicles, pedestrians, and mixed traffic flows). It explores the spatiotemporal complexity of traffic flows in road networks, as well as the structural and flow complexity of urban road networks, rail networks, multimodal transportation networks, and integrated transport networks in metropolitan areas. Furthermore, research also includes the spatiotemporal characteristics and evolution of urban traffic demand, the co-evolution of urban traffic systems and spatial forms, and the spatiotemporal dynamics of road and network traffic congestion.

  1. The Modeling and Regulation of Complex Transportation Systems

This direction focuses on the integration of holistic and reductionist approaches to analyze and simulate transportation systems. It applies control theory to intervene in and regulate the macro-level emergent phenomena of these systems. Research areas include the optimization models and algorithms for urban traffic network design, resource allocation, and traffic demand management; theories and applications of collaborative control and intelligent regulation in complex transportation systems; control theories and methods for autonomous vehicles and connected vehicle fleets; and modeling of multimodal urban transportation networks. Further studies focus on the robustness of transportation systems and related control methods, real-time optimization control and decision-making methods for urban traffic systems driven by data, and advanced control theories for rail transportation systems. Theoretical and methodological studies also explore the optimization of structure in rail-guided urban public transportation modes and traffic system regulation oriented toward carbon neutrality goals.

  1. Comprehensive Transportation System Analysis and Integration

Building on systems theory and utilizing system analysis and integration techniques, this direction seeks to optimize the functionality of transportation systems through the decomposition, coordination, integration, optimization, and implementation of transportation system goals. Research areas include travel mode identification based on activity chains, dynamic travel decision-making mechanisms, and the development of theories for analyzing mixed travel behaviors; the exploration of relationship and interaction mechanism between the elements, structure, and function of transportation systems; the study of coordination theories and methods for the multimodal transportation system; the theories and methods for analyzing the resilience and reliability of urban transportation networks. This research direction also explores the adaptive matching of urban transportation supply and demand across spatiotemporal dimensions, as well as the coupling and interaction mechanisms between transportation capacity and travel demand under normal and abnormal events. Additionally, it develops simulation theories and methods for complex transportation systems and investigates the integrated application of state monitoring, operational control, and emergency management within urban transportation systems.

  1. Big Data and Intelligent Systems

This direction primarily applies systems science theories, methods, and technologies to study the holistic, emergent, systematic, and synergistic behaviors of complex transportation systems in new operational environments such as big data, artificial intelligence, mobile connectivity, autonomous driving, and shared mobility. Research focuses on data-driven theories of autonomous knowledge acquisition, application, reasoning, decision-making, and learning by individuals or groups in transportation systems. The aim is to explore the modeling and decision-making methods for large-scale, multimodal, and multi-level smart transportation systems, guiding big data analysis in transportation and the intelligent behaviors of self-organizing and adaptive transportation systems. Additionally, this research direction explores new technologies, business models, and paradigms related to autonomous driving, vehicle networking, and shared mobility, with a focus on the theoretical and technical methods involved in the collection, management, analysis, intelligent computation, and presentation of big data, leveraging 5G, big data, AI, machine learning, and IoT technologies.

  1. Reconstruction Methods, Strict Controllability Theory, and Empirical Research of Complex System Transport Processes

To address the internationally recognized challenge of efficiently inferring all factors that determine the evolution of complex systems from limited data, the team proposed a universal reconstruction method for complex system transport processes. This method enables the efficient reconstruction of the interaction structure and intensity within complex systems. Furthermore, to tackle the challenge of effectively identifying and controlling key factors in complex system transport processes, the study introduced a strict controllability theory based on interaction structure and intensity. This theory allows for the precise identification of the key control factor set in transport processes across systems of any structure. The proposed theory and methods were successfully applied to two typical complex transportation systems—urban road and rail transport systems. These applications demonstrated the significant role of the theoretical findings in guiding practical control measures for complex transport systems. This research was a collaborative effort among the faculty team of this academic discipline, Beijing Normal University, and Beihang University, and it won the Beijing Science and Technology Award for Natural Science (Second Prize).
