Longitudinal study on the travel behavior of the population

Transport policy and transport planning require constantly updated information on traffic events and the travel behavior of the population. On the basis of such information, the transport infrastructure can be designed to meet people's needs - today and in the future.

The German Mobility Panel (MOP) collected this necessary information every year from 1994 to 2022 - for example, when, for what purpose and by which means of transport people travel in Germany. To this end, households were surveyed on their travel behavior in everyday life and on their use of cars. With this information, they make an important contribution to the sensible design of transport systems.

Termination of the German Mobility Panel

The German Mobility Panel project was discontinued on January 31, 2024 after 30 years. The last survey took place in 2022 (survey on everyday travel) and 2023 (survey on mileage and fuel consumption).
