MODAL SPLIT AS AN ESSENTIAL LINK BETWEEN LAND USE PLANNING AND TRANSPORT PLANNING

Modal split, the choice between different modes or means of transport, has nowadays become a slogan, at present especially related to the promotion of public transport. To take an influence on modal split, however, is not as simple as is often assumed. That is because the modal split depends on several, different influence factors such as the urban structure, the social importance of the transport system, the standard of living, etc. Moreover, each traffic category has its own intrinsic laws so that, even in this respect, a corresponding classification appears to be called for. In the present paper, the attempt is made, first of all, to survey the essential features under the headings of urban development, society, and space planning, and secondly, to illustrate by practical examples modal split models for different traffic categories.
