Accessibility Measures: Overview and Practical Applications

by Jan Scheurer and Carey Curtis

The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the various ways in which accessibility has been measured. Specifically, the review supports a current research project studying the impacts of transit led development in a new rail corridor. The review was undertaken to provide a context for publications arising from the research and also to provide ‘how to’ instructions for the research team to enable them to measure the accessibility of and from each station precinct.
This review covers a total of 41 papers published during the past five years through conference proceedings or in academic journals. Materials for this review were sourced primarily from electronic journals (Appendix 1). A list of academic journals which dealt explicitly with travel accessibility was compiled, a search schedule created and each journal searched issue by issue for relevant article titles from the last 5 years. This list was supplemented with other literature as relevant.
