TLDR
It is shown that there are differences between traditional measures and differences in accessibility between socioeconomic groups with different travel patterns.Abstract:
This paper explores the development of accessibility measure based on daily travel patterns. In contrast to traditional zone-based measures, distance is calculated using a predefined travel matrix. The travel pattern for each zone is used as a weight in the accessibility measure. This path-based accessibility measure is implemented in a computer program that is closely coupled to a transport-oriented geographic information system. The measure is demonstrated in an application for two Swedish counties. This paper shows that there are differences between traditional measures and differences in accessibility between socioeconomic groups with different travel patterns.read more
