Definizione & Spiegazione
Modal split describes how a given transport volume is distributed across the modes road, rail, water, air and pipeline. Depending on the question it is measured in tonnes, tonne-kilometres, consignments or vehicle trips – and the choice of unit changes the result substantially, which is why two figures for the same traffic can differ widely. In transport policy, modal split serves as a yardstick: Switzerland, for instance, reports the rail share of trans-Alpine freight every six months. For shippers it is a steering instrument, for example when a CO2 target requires a fixed rail share within their own network.
