• Abstract:
  This report comprises a review of the literature regarding the measurement of accessibility for transportation planning purposes. A comparison matrix presents summarized information about the papers reviewed. Different types of accessibility measures are discussed in separate chapters. Special attention is given to the elements of previous measures developed as they compare with the goals of the research project. The goal of this research is to develop a measure that is responsive to both the transportation system and land use. In addition, the measure developed is intended to disaggregate along four dimensions (mode, time of day, activity type, and spatial detail) and then aggregate along any one or combination of these dimensions for use in transportation planning at the local, regional, and state levels.
