Defining Correlation between the Modal Split of Inhabitants and Students and the Location of Housing Areas and Schools with the Analysis of Travel Plans

Across the world there is an increasing interest in managing car traffic. One approach developed for addressing the journey to work is known as ‘workplace travel planning’. In the recent years the authors participated in two Intelligent Energy Europe projects (Pro.motion and Travel Plan Plus project) which aim was to deliver transport-sector energy savings by creating travel plans. During the development of the projects two local travel plans were worked out, one for the residential area of Ménfőcsanak, in the city Győr, Hungary and one for the elementary educational institutions of Győr. The main objective of all these studies were to reduce the problems caused by private car users and more over to promote sustainable mobility choices for target groups.
