Traffic congestion is an urgent urban problem. A solution is to utilize mass and/or rapid transit more extensively. The division of patronage between the personal automobile and mass transportation is called modal split. This study examines modal split in three stages: First, the major modal split models are examined to determine which variables are the key determinates; second, a particular model split model is further evaluated in the context of varying urban settings; Third, a simulation model is presented to illustrate how urban form affects modal split.
