Correlation of Public Transit Accessibility Measures with Actual Ridership
@inproceedings{Bree2019CorrelationOP, title={Correlation of Public Transit Accessibility Measures with Actual Ridership}, author={Sarah Bree}, year={2019} }
Transit accessibility measures are important tools used by planners to understand the effects of changes to the public transit system. However, it is not clear how existing accessibility measures (models) described in the literature correlate with actual public transit ridership data. Public transit systems vary dramatically according to the regions they serve, and no single model has been identified that accurately measures accessibility across the spectrum. This paper evaluates several…

Accessibility measure of bus transit networks

A novel gravity-based measure method is proposed for accessibility analysis in transit networks, which utilises service level factors together with transit stop reachability to measure the accessibility.
Measuring transit system accessibility using a modified two-step floating catchment technique
- EconomicsInt. J. Geogr. Inf. Sci.
- 2012
An accessibility measure based on enhanced ‘floating catchment’ techniques, which have to date not been applied to measure access to public transport opportunities, is introduced and it is demonstrated that this approach captures many detailed aspects of accessibility including proximity, the balance between service supply and demand, cumulative opportunity and temporal availability.

This guidebook describes how to create a comprehensive framework for evaluating the full impacts (benefits and costs) of a particular transit service or improvement. It identifies various categories…
Mapping transit‐based access: integrating GIS, routes and schedules

It is seen that current methods fall short in measuring transit service access in several meaningful aspects, and new refinements that can be used to help overcome some of these shortcomings are proposed.
An integrated measure of accessibility and reliability of mass transit systems
- Computer Science
- 2018
The main contribution of this study lies in the results from the experiments, which can be used to inform how transport network planning can be prepared to enhance the network functionality, thereby achieving a well-balanced, accessible, and reliable system.
Measures of Spatial Accessibility to Health Care in a GIS Environment: Synthesis and a Case Study in the Chicago Region
- MedicineEnvironment and planning. B, Planning & design
- 2003
Two GIS-based accessibility measures into one framework are synthesized, and the sensitivity of results are analyzed by experimenting with ranges of threshold travel times in the FCA method and travel friction coefficients in the gravity model.
