[Abstract]As attention to the concept of the Metaverse continues to rise, how the Metaverse will affect the development of the transportation system has also become a hot topic. First, it introduces the origin and current situation of the concept of the Metaverse, looks forward to the incubation, development and maturity stages of the development of the Metaverse, and discusses the potential problems brought by the Metaverse. Combined with Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, the analysis points out that the metaverse will gradually affect urban travel demand and will bring profound changes to transportation after entering a mature stage. To guide the healthy development of the Yuanverse and effectively serve social travel, parallel intelligent methods will play a key role. The implementation of the parallel traffic system will play a role in traffic planning, precise control, refined services, emergency management, etc.

0 Preface
The metaverse has undoubtedly become the focus of technology that has attracted widespread attention in social media in 2021. Although the definition of the metaverse is not yet clear, it has already had a conceptual impact on various industries in society. It is widely regarded as the future digital way of survival for mankind and will have a substantial and far-reaching impact on reshaping the global digital economic system. The Metaverse has the characteristics of extensive participation, openness, interactivity, etc., and these characteristics are very similar to the transportation system. Therefore, this article attempts to explore and look forward to the development of the Metaverse on the future transportation system from the perspective of the transportation system. The main points of influence are as follows.
● The long-term development of the Yuanverse will definitely bring about profound changes in social transportation.
● When analyzing the impact of the metaverse on transportation development, the demand level of the social population is an important reference factor.
● The development of the metaverse requires good guidance, and management, control, and guidance based on parallel systems are indispensable.
● The parallel traffic system will play an advantageous role in traffic planning, control, services, emergency response, etc.
● Parallel transportation based on the Metaverse will reduce transportation carbon emissions and help achieve the “double carbon” goal.
