Participation index : a measure to identify rural transport disadvantage?

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a composite participation index (PI) to identify patterns of transport disadvantage in space and time using 157 weekly activity-travel diaries data collected from three case study areas in rural Northern Ireland.

Measuring the Impacts of New Public Transit Services on Space-Time Accessibility

TL;DR: Results suggest that the TSR yields ambiguous benefits for accessibility to jobs and healthcare, however, the new CMAX service and its potential upgrades lead to a substantial increase in both job and healthcare accessibility.

Balancing time: Using a new accessibility measure in Rio de Janeiro

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple accessibility measure that accounts for competition effects is proposed to assess the inequality in job accessibility in 160 neighborhoods within the city of Rio de Janeiro, and the results are compared with the most popular indicator used in practice, the cumulative opportunities.

Measures of Spatial Accessibility to Health Care in a GIS Environment: Synthesis and a Case Study in the Chicago Region:

TL;DR: Two GIS-based accessibility measures into one framework are synthesized, and the sensitivity of results are analyzed by experimenting with ranges of threshold travel times in the FCA method and travel friction coefficients in the gravity model.

An enhanced two-step floating catchment area (E2SFCA) method for measuring spatial accessibility to primary care physicians.

TL;DR: An enhancement of the two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method for measuring spatial accessibility, addressing the problem of uniform access within the catchment by applying weights to different travel time zones to account for distance decay is presented.
