Accessible accessibility research challenges
TL;DR: The focus is on putting relatively new topics on the agenda, rather than making suggestions for improvements of given accessibility indicators, and proposes avenues for future research focusing on indicators to express accessibility, and evaluation.

Temporal variability in transit-based accessibility to supermarkets
TL;DR: This study analyzes public transit access to supermarkets in Cincinnati, Ohio and identifies the areas and subpopulations with the greatest need for improved access to healthy food stores and demonstrates how schedule-dependent transportation can be factored into measures of accessibility.

Impacts of high speed rail on railroad network accessibility in China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the impacts of high speed rail on changes in in-vehicle travel time and out-of-car travel time with respect to the policy changes that reduced the operating speed of HSR trains, rearranged the train timetable, and lowered the ticket fare on HSR train.

Rethinking the links between social exclusion and transport disadvantage through the lens of social capital
Tim Schwanen,Karen Lucas,Nihan Akyelken,Diego Cisternas Solsona,Juan Antonio Carrasco,Tijs Neutens +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a critical review of the progress in understanding the linkages between transport disadvantage and social exclusion is provided, highlighting the Janus-faced character of social capital as a medium for both the effectuation of progressive social change and the perpetuation and creation of social inequalities.

Active accessibility: A review of operational measures of walking and cycling accessibility
TL;DR: In this paper, an extensive review of published research that measures active accessibility is presented, and the literature is classified into four categories based on the methodology used: distance-based, gravity-based or potential, topological or infra- structure-based and walkability and walk score-type measures.

Effects of Transportation Accessibility on Residential Property Values: Application of Spatial Hedonic Price Model in Seoul, South Korea, Metropolitan Area
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a spatial lag hedonic price model in the Seoul, South Korea, metropolitan region, which includes a measure of local accessibility as well as systemwide accessibility, in addition to other model covariates.

How welfare recipients travel on public transit, and their accessibility to employment outside large urban centers
Evelyn Blumenberg,Kimiko Shiki +1 more
TL;DR: The authors examined the relevance of the spatial mismatch hypothesis to welfare to welfare recipients living in medium-sized cities and rural areas and found that the urban structure does not fit the simple model of poor, central-city neighborhoods and distant, job-rich suburbs.

‘Collective consumption’ revisited: Analysing modes of provision and access to childcare services in Montréal, Quebec
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that conceptualizations based on the concept of collective consumption have severe shortcomings for the study of childcare provision, not least among which is the fact that most children are cared for through "non-organized" modes of childcare in which the state is not directly involved.
Transit Accessibility and Connectivity Impacts on Transit Choice and Captivity
TL;DR: Beimborn et al. as mentioned in this paper examined how transit service factors such as accessibility and connectivity relate to mode captivity and mode choice, and found that better transit forecasts can result if accessibility, connectivity and connectivity are used to help identify captive users.
