Traffic operation has shown abnormal characteristics during COVID-19. This paper obtains traffic data from multiple fields in Beijing for the whole year of 2020, combines traffic operation data with the number of confirmed cases, and deeply explores the operating characteristics of road networks, public transportation, and intercity transportation at various stages during the major epidemic. The results showed that travel demand decreased significantly during the epidemic period. From the perspective of urban road network traffic pressure, the demand for rigid travel in peak hours during the epidemic recovery period is relatively large. Based on this research, it can provide decision support for the government to formulate relevant prevention and control measures and policies, thereby improving the ability of urban traffic to respond to public health emergencies.
