Overview
Background & policy context:
This project was part of a project of a PhD project.
Objectives:
The study aimed to analyse the capacity of accessibility measures to evaluate the accessibility impacts of national land-use and transport scenarios, and related social and economic impacts.
Methodology:
A two-part approach was chosen to meet the aim of the study. Firstly, an extensive literature study in which accessibility measures are reviewed according to their:
- theoretical and methodological soundness;
- interpretability;
- data need;
- capacity to be used in evaluations of land-use and transport changes, and related economic and social impacts.
Secondly, activity- and utility-based accessibility measures are computed in case studies aimed at analysing their capacity for evaluating accessibility impacts of land-use and transport changes.
