The topic of intermodal passenger mobility has become more important during the last 20 years. As mobility options increase in number and flexibility, it gets more and more attractive to combine multiple modes on single trips. In addition, intermodal travel behavior is expected to contribute to less car dependent mobility and transport sector’s reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Creating and improving the conditions for such a behavior requires planning with knowledge about influencing factors and highest resistances. Empirical evidence and behavioral models can support decisions on measures improving intermodal travel supply. This work presents an agent-based model approach containing intermodal travel behavior with regard to its most important decisions. It enables the combination of a multitude of modes and can be extended to even more modes. By combining many decisions and influences it is comprehensible and adaptable to different surveys and circumstances. We show that results are realistic and impacts are valid to be able to forecast effects of potential measures.
