Introduction  Large waste incineration power plants are gradually integrating urban comprehensive functions such as waste treatment, environmental education, popular science tourism, and cultural exhibitions, so the traffic flow is complex. In order to ensure efficient and smooth transportation within the plant and safe operation of the power plant, this paper aims to bring forward an idea of optimizing the traffic organization design for such power plant project.

  Method  Based on the analysis of problems and limitations of applying the conventional traffic organization design method for such project, this paper sorted out the incoming and outgoing traffic, in-plant materials and office visit flow lines, and garbage loading processes. With three-dimensional transportation, shared diversion and buffer settings, and consideration of connectivity in the short term and long term, intelligent traffic control systems and other diversified means were fully utilized.

  Result  This optimization idea is applied to a domestic waste emergency comprehensive treatment project in Guangzhou, which realizes the convenience of entering and leaving the plant, the separation of people and goods and garbage, the separation of production and visit flows, and safe and efficient transportation of garbage, and provides an effective solution for the waste incineration power plant to improve efficiency, save resources and create social value.

  Conclusion  The traffic analysis method, subdivision element method and optimization design principle in this paper are effective for the traffic organization design of such project, and provide a strong technical support for the project to create a smart waste incineration power plant and new urban open space. The research results can provide reference and guidance for practical projects.
