First of all, it should be emphasized that transportation is two majors, and most schools with a first-level discipline of transportation engineering will offer these two majors at the undergraduate level, which are called transportation engineering and transportation respectively.
The picture shows the name of transportation major of Beijing Jiaotong University.
Among them, traffic engineering mainly aims at solving urban traffic problems, such as urban traffic planning, traffic demand model, traffic flow simulation and so on. The transportation major mainly faces transportation problems, such as public transportation network planning, transportation enterprise operation management, transportation organization and so on. Of course, traffic engineering and transportation majors will have some of the same courses at the undergraduate level, but they have different levels of mastery of students' requirements.
As for the postgraduate stage, the distinction is not obvious, mainly depending on the research direction of the tutor. Also, different schools offer different transportation majors. For example, Chang 'an University and Southeast University mainly focus on road transportation, Beijing Jiaotong University and Southwest Jiaotong University mainly focus on rail transportation, while Tongji University is more comprehensive, involving roads and railways.

Colleges and universities offering transportation majors in China can participate in the evaluation results of the Academic Affairs Office, as shown in the following figure.

Among them, Southeast University, Tongji University, Beihang University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Central South University, Jilin University, South China University of Technology and Northwestern Polytechnical University are 985 universities, while Southwest Jiaotong University, Beijing Jiaotong University and Chang 'an University are 2 1 1 universities, and their transportation engineering disciplines are basically "985" dominant discipline platform construction majors; Dalian Maritime University, Wuhan University of Technology and Shanghai Maritime University have better majors in water transport, and the first two universities are both 2 1 1.
As for the application, it is suggested to consider it comprehensively according to the college entrance examination scores, self-interest, future development areas and school-running level.
I hope to help my friends.
