Spatial Network Analysis of Public Transport Accessibility Angela Hull and Saleem Karou
Components of accessibility in model Source: Geurs and Wee, 2004
Accessibility measures/ indicators • Time access to city centre. representing the actual morning peak hour travel time between a zone and the Central Business Distract (CBD). • A contour measure. describing the total number of economic activities or destinations within a maximum travel time determined based on the trip purpose.
3. A potential accessibility measure. A gravity-based measure using the travel time between data zones, weighted by the quantity of activity opportunities per zone.
EdinburghGIS model • 549 Data Zones with population 500 – 1000 each • 2008-09 data on land use attributes of each zone including population, employment, retail, health, education, and recreation stored in its own centroid • For larger zones, centroids calculated on basis of population location
2010 Baseline (i) Access to the CBD: Parity in journey time between private motorised and public transport; (ii) Bus services
Research questions • What is the change in spatial accessibility by public transport within the case study area resulting from the planned enhancements to the local transport network? • What is the contribution of that change toincreasing or reducing inequality (measured by accessibility to urban facilities) across case study area? • Where are the gaps in the distribution of the main urban facilities (health, retail, and education facilities) in Edinburgh in terms of the access to their locations by public transport?
