The global Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is having a great impact on all areas of the everyday life, including travel behaviour. Various measures that focus on restricting social contacts have been implemented in order to reduce the spread of the virus. Understanding how daily activities and travel behaviour change during such global crisis and the reasons behind is crucial for developing suitable strategies for similar future events and analysing potential mid- and long-term impacts. In order to provide empirical insights into changes in travel behaviour during the first Coronavirus-related lockdown in 2020 for Germany, an online survey with a relative representative sample for the German population was conducted a week after the start of the nationwide contact ban. The data was analysed performing descriptive and inferential statistical analyses. The results suggest in general an increase in car use and decrease in public transport use as well as more negative perception of public transport as a transport alternative during the pandemic. Regarding activity-related travel patterns, the findings show firstly, that the majority of people go less frequent shopping; simultaneously, an increase in online shopping can be seen and characteristics of this group were analysed. Secondly, half of the adult population still left their home for leisure or to run errands; young adults were more active than all other age groups. Thirdly, the majority of the working population still went to work; one out of four people worked in home-office. Lastly, potential implications for travel behaviour and activity patterns as well as policy measures are discussed.

分析COVID-19疫情对德国日常出行行为的影响以及对未来出行方式的潜在影响

全球冠状病毒（COVID-19）大流行对日常生活的各个方面都产生了巨大影响，包括旅行行为。为了减少病毒的传播，已经采取了各种旨在限制社会交往的措施。了解在这种全球危机期间日常活动和旅行行为如何变化以及其背后的原因，对于为类似的未来事件制定合适的策略并分析潜在的中长期影响至关重要。为了从经验上了解德国在2020年首次与冠状病毒相关的锁定期间旅行行为的变化，在全国禁止接触开始一周后，进行了一项针对德国人口的具有相对代表性样本的在线调查。分析数据进行描述性和推断性统计分析。结果表明，大流行期间汽车使用量的增加和公共交通使用量的减少，以及对公共交通作为大流行期间的一种替代交通方式的负面看法。关于与活动相关的出行方式，研究结果首先表明，大多数人购物频率降低。同时，可以看到在线购物的增加，并分析了该群体的特征。其次，一半的成年人仍然离开家休闲或出差。年轻人比其他年龄段的人都更加活跃。第三，大多数劳动人口仍在工作。四分之一的人在家庭办公室工作。最后，
