The invention relates to an urban main road traffic operation information processing method based on floating vehicle data. The method comprises the following steps: 1) map-matching is carried out on GPS original data transmitted by a floating vehicle, and a coordinate of a vehicle position is matched to a road network to obtain GPS operation data; and vehicle operation statuses on different road segments are displayed through combining with a map; 2), pretreatment is carried out on the GPS operation data, and the pretreatment process comprises sample screening and speed calculating; and 3), extraction of traffic operation characteristic indexes are carried out, and the average speed, the speed variance and the speed distribution are calculated; a speed-distance curve, a speed skewness coefficient, a kurtosis coefficient, a speed mileage distribution map and a speed time distribution map are output. Compared with urban main road traffic operation information processing methods in the prior art, the urban main road traffic operation information processing method based on the floating vehicle data of the invention has advantages of utilizing a taxi floating vehicle technique to analyze and process urban road traffic operation and to obtain indexes such as the road segment average speed, the speed fluctuation and the speed distribution; and the floating vehicle data of the invention has an advantage of being able to reflect a whole road segment traffic operation status, etc.
