Article output of Chinese transportation engineering and its international effect are the objects of this paper. The SCI online version database (SCI Expanded) as statistical original data to inspect the article output of transportation engineering issued by Chinese author. Having been data cleaning and carding, the science of bibliometric parameters and the cointegration theory are used to calculate the following key elements of research output of transportation engineering, including overall proportion, issuing trends over the years, types of WOS article, and international cooperation relationship of articles, funding institutions, issuing agency and article impact factors. A scient metric analysis of the articles published by Chinese author in the field of transportation engineering is employed. As a consequence, there is marked features in term of quantity and quality of output in transportation engineering. The paper also has quantitative analysis of the general situation of article output of Chinese transportation engineering to provide reference of scientific positioning of development level. In conclusion, this analysis could contribute to the knowledge of scientific output related to transportation engineering field in China.
