Taking the main urban area of Chongqing as the research area, this paper combines the content of urban green transportation and sustainable development, characteristics of mountain cities and factors affecting green transportation. The relevant indexes of urban green traffic evaluation index system are screened by taking into account the availability of each indicator data, while a comprehensive evaluation index system of green traffic suitable for mountain cities is established. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Information Entropy Method are used to determine the weight of each factor and the combination weight of each index in the urban traffic green evaluation index system. Then, the weights of the evaluation factors and indicators are combined and empowered. Combining ArcGIS software with evaluation model, data collection and evaluation of green traffic indicators are carried out in nine districts of Chongqing. Finally, suggestions and improvement measures are put forward to promote the development of green traffic in Chongqing.
