TLDR
In this paper, the authors present an equity assessment of the distribution of accessibility in order to define the rate of "access poverty" among the population, and apply this analysis to regional transportation plan scenarios from the San Francisco Bay Area, focusing on measures of differences between public transit and automobile access.About:

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identifying public transport gaps using time-dependent accessibility levels
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a methodology for identifying public transit gaps, a mismatch between the socially driven demand for transit and the supply provided by transit agencies, and the results indicate that mainly suburban areas are characterized by high public transport gaps.
Evaluating Transportation Equity Guidance For Incorporating Distributional Impacts in Transportation Planning
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide practical guidance for evaluating transportation equity, defining various types of equity and equity impacts, and describes practical ways to incorporate equity evaluation and objectives in transport planning.

Spatiotemporal accessibility to supermarkets using public transit: an interaction potential approach in Cincinnati, Ohio
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed people's spatio-temporal constraints to accessing supermarkets, and focused on the transit commuting population, finding that there are a significant number of residents that have improved access to supermarkets when a grocery shopping trip is made on the way home from work, than if they were to depart from their home location.

Social inequalities in neighborhood visual walkability: Using street view imagery and deep learning technologies to facilitate healthy city planning
TL;DR: A conceptual framework for understanding street visual walkability is proposed and deep learning technologies are employed to segment and extract physical features from Baidu Map Street View (BMSV) imagery using the case of Shenzhen City in China.

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.

Transport and social exclusion: Where are we now?
TL;DR: The early 1990s and early 2000s witnessed a growing interest amongst UK academics and policy makers in the issue of transport disadvantage and how this might relate to growing concerns about the social exclusion of low income groups and communities.

The spatial mismatch hypothesis: A review of recent studies and their implications for welfare reform
TL;DR: More than two dozen new studies on the spatial mismatch hypothesis have been completed since Kain's review as discussed by the authors, and these studies use more suitable data and superior methodologies than earlier studies and therefore provide the most reliable evidence to date.

Physical accessibility as a social indicator
Martin Wachs,T.Gordon Kumagai +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual framework is introduced for measuring accessibility in terms of the ease with which citizens may reach a variety of opportunities for employment and services, and this framework is interpreted as an approach to evaluating transportation and regional plans which differs from approaches based upon travel volumes and travel times which are currently employed in urban transportation planning and evaluation.
