Modal Split
Celestial Journeys
Modal split is a stage in travel demand modelling that assesses transportation behaviour. It displays the percentage of travellers who use a specific mode of transportation compared to the total number of trips made. It typically measures the proportion of trips or items moved by each mode, such as automobiles, public transportation, bicycles, pedestrians, or freight trucks. Modal split analysis is widely used in transportation planning and policymaking to better understand travel patterns, evaluate the performance of current transportation infrastructure, and influence future transportation system investments.
