Abstract

Individual decisions are pivotal to sustainable mobility. However, the disciplines of mobility research, sustainability research, and behavioral science typically explore this topic in isolation. For instance, there is no comprehensive framework for individual mobility decisions, and existing frameworks exhibit several significant shortcomings. Based on an integrative review of existing frameworks, this article therefore integrates concepts from all three perspectives into a novel framework, the CoMoDe-Matrix. The proposed framework emphasizes the importance of the decision context (i.e. private or professional context) and of differentiation between various decision types. Its integrative nature makes the framework a valuable tool for interdisciplinary mobility research, providing a cohesive foundation which could be applied, for instance, in systematic evidence syntheses. Furthermore, it offers practical guidance for policymakers seeking to promote sustainable mobility decisions.
