Abstract

Abstract There is a saying in China, “If you want to get rich, build roads first.” This sentence points out the relationship between transportation facilities and economic development. The operating mileage of railways, highways and other modes of transportation represents a region’s transportation development, and they are inseparable from economic development. This article analyzes the traffic problems in Shanxi Province and related economic development problems based on the railway operating mileage and highway mileage in Shanxi Province in the past ten years. The study found that the mileage of railways and highways has a positive correlation with GDP. Then through the establishment of a regression model, the linear relationship between the three is determined, and finally based on the relationship between the three, suggestions suitable for the transportation and economic development of Shanxi Province are put forward.
