Mobility type | Mobility behavior (resulting from cluster analyses; less than average/higher than average refers to total dataset) | Predominant socio-demographic characteristics (in % of the specific mobility type) | Predominant availability of mobility resources (in % of the specific mobility type) |
---|---|---|---|
I1U5 all-purpose car-user (n = 129; 12.5%) | - high unimodal use of car for all trip purposes - complementary use of bike - use of intermodal combinations is low | - male (58.3%) - main age group 36–45 (24.8%) and 46–55 (25.6%) - many working people (74.4%) - family households (41.4%) - often living in a decentralized neighborhood | - car availability (85.3%) and car-sharing membership (20.2%) are high - low share of public transport passes (19.5%) |
I2U2 public transport user (n = 96; 9.2%) | - high daily use of intermodal and unimodal use of public transport - predominantly trips to work and leisure activities | - female (53.1%) - main age group 26–35 (33.7%) - many students and school pupils (24.0%) - one-person households (31.3%) and couples (38.5%) - often living in a well-connected neighborhood | - high degree of public transport passes (91.6%) - car availability is very low (29.2%) - car-sharing-memberships are below average (12.0%) |
I3U1 intermodal car and public transport user (n = 27; 2.6%) | - often combines car and public transport, especially for shopping and private errands - unimodal car use is high as well | - female (51.9%) - main age group 66–75 (37.0%) - retired (70.4%) - many couples (59.3%) - often living in a decentralized neighborhood | - car availability is very high (92.6%) - only few have a public transport pass (25.9%) or car-sharing membership (3.7%) |
I5U3 intermodal bike and public transport user (n = 38; 3.7%) | - often combines bike and public transport (well above average) or different means of public transport - intermodal for many different trip purposes including trips to work - also uses the bike unimodally, especially for shopping, leisure activities and private errands - unimodal car use is below average | - male (55.3%), - main age group 36–45 (24.3%) - working (63.2%), mainly full-time (86.4% thereof) - family households (34.2%) - often living in an urban neighborhood | - public transport passes (83.8%) and car-sharing memberships (45.7%) to a high degree, - car availability is quite low (34.2%) |
I6U5 multimodal user(n = 20; 1.9%) | - both intermodal and unimodal usage - use of intermodal mode combinations (pt + pt., bike + pt., car + pt) is above average for all kind of trip purposes - additionally, high unimodal car and bike use | - female (55.0%) - main age group 46–55 (20.0%) and 56–65 (25.0%) - working (60.0%) - family households (40.0%) - often living in a decentralized neighborhood | - availability of car (55.0%) and public transport passes (61.1%) is equal on an average level - very few have a car-sharing membership (5.3%) |
