Building a roll-on/roll-off passenger (Ro-Pax) terminal, an important transportation center, will promote the rapid development of industry and population growth in surrounding areas. Obviously, transportation network is put intolerable pressure by a large number of traffic volume concentrating to Ro-Pax terminal to cause traffic congestion. Therefore, it is an important task to explore the feasibility of Ro-Pax terminal construction and carry out the traffic impact analysis (TIA) and assessment. This paper predicts and assign the traffic volume into road network to simulate the traffic situation of the main roads from macro perspectives. And then we quantify and analyzes the impact of building Ro-Pax terminal on intercity and adjacent road traffic to identify the vulnerable areas and intersections. Finally, this paper proposes some reasonable suggestions on the improvement of road network structure. The performance assessment of improvement schemes can provide decision support for selecting the best one according to different requirements. The research can improve the traffic accessibility so that the Ro-Pax terminal has a good traffic environment and better play its role as a passenger transportation center.
