Frequency distribution of daily travel distances

Abstract

The distribution of the daily travelled distance by a person is crucial for his/her readiness to buy an electric car. If many days with a car travel longer than 100 Km are expected the likelihood of the acquisition of an electric car by this person will be low. The distribution of daily travelled distances is known from different mobility surveys, both at the national and at the regional level. However, most of this data are not helpful for the evaluation of the frequency. Ideally, one should use panel data for an evaluation of this kind.
