Modal split changes in Serbian cities during COVID pandemic

Abstract

Modal split is one of the most important parameters used in transport planning. Modal split is often used as a base for strategic and operational decisions since it represents the share of different modes of transport in overall trips. The paper uses data [9] on travel characteristics collected using the same methodology, which makes them acceptable for comparison. The key results related to the changes in the use of different modes of transport during COVID pandemic are presented, as well as the attitudes about the primary problems related to mobility in Serbian cities. Statistical analysis defined the links between problems, system conditions and potential solutions, in order to change passenger behavior and finaly achieve a more favorable modal split.
