DESCRIPTION:This presentation examines the global impact of COVID-19 on tra
 ffic across 40 cities in Europe\, South East Asia\, Australia\, and North 
 America. I analyzed monthly rush hour traffic from 2019 to 2021 with  GeoP
 andas\, leafmap\, and  HERE's Traffic Analytics data. In addition\, I corr
 elated traffic volume with COVID positivity\, mortality\,  and vaccination
  rates to examine how these factors influence the resumption of pre-pandem
 ic traffic patterns.\n\nBecause of the volume of the traffic data (billion
 s of records)\, desktop GIS software\, including spatially enabled databas
 es\, could not reliably process it on a desktop computer. Online solutions
 \, such as Google Colab\, would have been a costly alternative given the a
 mount of data. However\, GeoPandas and Jupyter notebook on notebook comput
 er was able to process the traffic data and enhance the spatial road data 
 and support joining the result to the road network for visualization. The 
 method for processing the data will be discussed in detail. In summary\, o
 pen source tools give researcher unprecedented abilities to process large 
 amounts of data.
