Abstract: The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in the realization of important requirements with respect to the traffic emergency prevention and control system of China. This study discusses the COVID-19 patient transfer problem through intelligent transportation and then proposes algorithms and models for transferring patients to achieve a highly efficient transition between patients and medical resources. A comprehensive application system involving a three-dimensional transportation is established to optimize the match between traffic resources and medical resources, which will maximize the transportation use to connect resources. In addition, this study proposes a joint prevention and control system, discussing the functions of the Internet of Things, the communication technology and traffic control methods during the prevention and control of COVID-19 and patients treatment. Finally, we conclude the functions of traffic planning during the prevention and control of the outbreak of COVID-19 and propose the establishment of a rapid response system for key public health and safety events. The comprehensive application of intelligent transportation technology in this study can be adopted to improve the response and disposal capacity in events of public health and security emergencies. 

Key words: intelligent transportation, cooperative control, comprehensive optimization, public health resources, COVID-19
