<p>    The concept of Healthy Cities, introduced by the World Health Organization, demonstrates value health for whole urban system. As one most important components systems, transportation plays an role in Cities. Many evaluation systems focus on factors such as road networks, parking spaces, speed, accessibility, convenience, and commuting time, while vulnerability resilience are rarely evaluated. This study presents preliminary progress traffic during precipitation events 39 Chinese cities. Traffic congestion index data, derived from Baidu Map Smart Transportation Platform, rainfall NASA’s global measurement, utilized. index, corresponding quantitative methods proposed, analysis results presented. is improving understanding resilience, enabling them assessment Cities program.</p>
