Planning for pedestrian flows in rail rapid transit stations: Lessons from the state of current knowledge and practice
TL;DR: It is found that although standards and codes are most likely to guide design decisions, the three types of tools (published standards, deterministic models, and microsimulation models) are as likely to complement as substitute for one another.
Comparison of Three Methods for Identifying Transport-Based Exclusion: Case Study of Children’s Access to Urban Opportunities in Erie and Niagara Counties, New York
TL;DR: In this paper, three methods for identifying transport-excluded populations are examined and compared, and the results reveal how the models differentially identify excluded populations and should inform planners and practitioners of the implications for choosing between these different approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
A longitudinal analysis of the effect of public rail infrastructure on proximate residential property transactions
TL;DR: Value capture offers the promise of recouping the additional value that public transportation infrastructure investments confer to local property as mentioned in this paper, and the totality of the empirical evidence supports value capture. But value capture does not capture the benefits of public transportation infrastructures.
Journal ArticleDOI
A multi-objective optimization approach to balancing economic efficiency and equity in accessibility to multi-use paths
Chih-Hao Wang,Na Chen +1 more
TL;DR: A multi-objective optimization modeling framework is proposed to maximize the total accessibility while minimizing the total differences in accessibility over a city to improve accessibility to multi-use paths and address inequality issues in transportation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial Pattern of Land Use and Its Implications for Mode-Based Accessibility: Case Study of Nanjing, China
Xianteng Liu,Jiangping Zhou +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed methodologies and procedures to quantify accessibility by mode choice and its spatial variances in the contexts of limited data availability and increased levels of motorization/urbanization.

Accessibility evaluation of land-use and transport strategies: review and research directions
Karst Teunis Geurs,Bert van Wee +1 more
TL;DR: A review of accessibility measures for assessing the usability of these measures in evaluations of land-use and transport strategies and developments is presented in this paper, using a broad range of relevant criteria, including theoretical basis, interpretability and communicability, and data requirements of the measures.

Measuring accessibility: an exploration of issues and alternatives
Susan L Handy,Debbie A. Niemeier +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a framework for the development of accessibility measures and two case studies suggestive of the range of possible approaches are presented, as well as issues that planners must address in developing an accessibility measure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial accessibility of primary care: concepts, methods and challenges
TL;DR: Basic concepts and measurements of access are explained, some historical background is provided, the major questions concerning geographic accessibility of primary care are outlined, recent developments in GIS and spatial analysis are described, and examples of promising work are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Space-time and integral measures of individual accessibility: a comparative analysis using a point-based framework
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the relationship and spatial patterns of these thirty accessibility measures using network-based GIS procedures and conclude that space-time and integral indices are distinctive types of accessibility measures which reflect different dimensions of the accessibility experience of individuals.
