The modal split is a consequence of the mobility behavior of people and the economic decisions of firms on the one hand and transport supply on the other.
- 2.1 in the transport
- 2.2 In passenger traffic
- 2.3 In freight transport

Reference values
Depending on how the modal split is calculated, can appear very different results. Calculation Basis can be:
- (Passenger ) trips (also called " transport cases " ): used in local transport plans; above all the commuters and the training commuters are taken into account
- Passenger and ton kilometers (transport performance; common scale )
- Vehicle kilometers
