This document provides an overview of travel behavior surveys in Germany and internationally. It summarizes the objectives and content of two major German travel surveys: MiD (Mobility in Germany) and MOP (German Mobility Panel). MiD is a large, cross-sectional survey conducted every 6-8 years, while MOP is a smaller longitudinal panel survey conducted annually. The document compares the sampling methods, instruments, data collected, and available materials from each survey to analyze travel behavior trends in Germany. It highlights some key mobility indicators measured by both surveys over time.

Conclusions
Stagnation of traveled km per Person
Decreasing car use of young adults
Increasing car use of elderly people
Differences between rural areas and conurbations
Demographic development
Population is decreasing (in Europe and Germany)
Population is getting older
More population in conurbations – less in rural areas
Increasing inter- and multimodal travel behavior
Use of all modes and and complementary mode us depending on the situation
Mobility Services are getting more and more inportant
Generation „iPhone“
