Traffic　control　and　route　guidance　are　two　subsystems　of　the　Intelligence　Traffic　system.　It＇s　of　great　value　to　cooperate　the　management　of　them.　Meanwhile,　different　cooperative　strategies　should　be　established　aimed　at　different　traffic　situations.　This　paper　proposes　a　cooperative　strategy　to　solve　the　problem　of　traffic　congestion　in　a　section　by　guiding　the　traffic　flow　to　some　other　sections　as　well　as　transferring　the　control　method　in　downstream　intersections.　A　simulation　on　individual　traffic　control　strategy　and　cooperative　strategy　in　a　typical　traffic　network　was　developed　with　Paramics　software,　respectively.　The　output　of　the　simulation　showed　that　the　total　mean　delay　of　the　network　was　reduced　when　the　cooperative　strategy　is　applied.　The　result　demonstrated　that　the　cooperative　strategy　is　practical　and　useful.　©　2010　ASCE.
