Popis: This study quantifies the reduction in external costs and changes in travel times resulting from the shift from car use to intermodal travel in Munich, based on real-world tracking data. By re-routing all car trips and calculating the travel times, distances, and externalities of alternative modes, we demonstrate that without increasing travel time, external costs can be reduced by 21 %, and by up to 77 % if a doubling of travel time is accepted. These findings highlight the significant benefits of intermodal mobility for urban transportation planning and underline its importance as a viable alternative to the private car.
