Accessibility based on Gravity-Radiation model and Google Maps API: A case study in Australia
TL;DR: The new estimated potential traveling population (EPTP) weighted travel costs are proposed to measure the overall accessibility at multiple scales and show that the EPTP is strongly correlated with the resident population at both the SUA and state levels in Australia.

Measures of association for cross classifications
Leo A. Goodman,William Kruskal +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a number of alternative measures are considered, almost all based upon a probabilistic model for activity to which the cross-classification may typically lead, and only the case in which the population is completely known is considered, so no question of sampling or measurement error appears.

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.
