Abstract
In order to establish a favorable recycle relation between regional highway network and road transportation industry, we need process coordination to suit local conditions, and optimize disposition of economical resources. The authors use Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to estimate the relative efficiency of road transportation industry in our country. The results generated from the DEA model reflect whether the DMUs are efficient both on scale and on technique. And the DMUs that are efficient comprise the frontier and those are not are ranked according to how far they are from their best practice counterpart on the frontier. Then we could adjust the inputs indexes of the inefficient DMUs to achieve the efficiency of them.
