In order to reduce the fluctuations of traffic flow and the impacts of traffic flow fluctuations, thereby increasing the level of service of roads and constructing the Internet of Things-based traffic system, based on the various causes of traffic flow fluctuations, the countermeasures were taken, such as the optimization of lanes, the management of intersections, the improvement and perfection of slow-vehicle lanes and bus stops, the timely renewal of traffic signs and marks, the rational arrangements of road operations, and the removal of visual obstacles, etc. The research results showed that these countermeasures could effectively reduce the hidden peril of accidents and improve the road capacity, thereby improving the level of service of roads, which provided a theoretical foundation and basis for road engineering design and traffic management. It can be seen that improving urban traffic through rational management and control measures can effectively improve the level of service of urban traffic. INDEX TERMS Urban road, traffic flow fluctuation, level of service, countermeasure.
