In recent literature an emerging need of understanding the changed mode choice of young adults (aged 18 to 29) is revealed. International literature reveals different characteristics that influence the modal split of young adults, but a quantitative research on the changes in preference of these young adults, as basis of a deeper understanding of the changed in modal split, is lacking. The presence of different influential characteristics on the modal split imply the presence of different segments with different modal splits within the population young adults. However, these segments have not been specified yet. The research has focussed on filling these two knowledge gaps by defining 7 segments based on their modal split and revealing the mode specific preference parameters of 15 significant characteristics. The mode preference and modal split of the segments are examined, as well as their change between the two datasets, creating a more complete mobility image of the young adults in the Netherlands.
