Trip characteristics of urban residents are closely related to the traffic structure, and the trip characteristics are of important reference significance to the optimization of traffic structure and the alleviation of traffic congestion. Taking typical large cities in China and abroad like London, New York, Shanghai and Guangzhou as study objects and based on the comparison between the socio-economic development and the transportation infrastructure construction, this paper analyzes the trip characteristics of Beijing urban residents, including the trip rate, trip purposes, trip distances and the distribution of trip time, etc. In addition, the paper also comparatively analyzes the all-day traffic structures of typical large cities, the commuting trip structure as well as the traffic structure into the city center at morning peak hour. Through the research on the trip characteristics and the traffic structure differences, it is concluded in the paper that the unreasonable urban traffic structures is the important reason of the low operating efficiency and service level of the urban traffic system in Beijing, and to effectively alleviate the traffic congestion situation in Beijing, measures to optimize the traffic structure must be taken.
