In view of 173 core articles on the application of GPS in the field of transportation included in CNKI database from 2017 to 2021, CiteSpace software is used to conduct author cooperation co-occurrence, keyword co-occurrence and cluster analysis. The results show that：The author's cooperation presents a certain degree of network connection, but the cross-institutional cooperation needs to be strengthened. There are great differences in research between home and abroad. The application of GPS in urban transportation, traffic engineering and intelligent transportation are the hotspots of domestic research in this field. Meanwhile, the domestic research is insufficient in breadth and shallow in depth, which needs to be further deepened and expanded. The purpose of this study is to provide direction guidance for the scientific research of logistics information technology in China's transportation.
