The invention belongs to the technical field of traffic management, and particularly relates to an intelligent traffic management system based on big data, which comprises a server and mobile terminals. The server runs on a cloud server, and the mobile terminals can be installed in a mobile phone, a tablet personal computer, a vehicle-mounted navigator and other intelligent devices. When an intersection is in a congestion state, the mobile terminals on vehicles 200-300m away from a current intersection stop line receive a lane-borrowing driving signal and a prompt control signal sent by the server; after receiving the lane-borrowing driving signal, the mobile terminals guide the vehicles to advance, drive into a left-turn lane or a right-turn lane, cross the congestion area, return to thestraight lane and continue to advance; and if the mobile terminals do not receive the lane-borrowing driving signal, the corresponding vehicles are not allowed to run on another lane. According to the invention, when the road intersection is jammed, the traffic can be rapidly dredged, the jam is relieved, the road smoothness is ensured, and meanwhile, the road traffic video is recorded, thereby facilitating responsibility determination when an accident occurs, and increasing the accident handling speed.
