Since its inception accessibility has undergone various changes in the way it is defined, measured, and modeled. The paper reviews the recent advancements made in the accessibility measures along with the models used in different applications of accessibility related to land use and transportation. The measures of accessibility are grouped under infrastructure-based, location-based, and person-based measures. The paper finds that although the person-based measures are statistically robust and theoretically sound, they are less preferred than the location-based measure in the accessibility measurement. The review finds recent development such as web based mapping and use of location based data; image mapping through convolutional neural networks; and activity-time constraints modeling in the measures of accessibility. Further, the paper reviews literature from the last five years that have used accessibility to study travel mode choices and household location choices and finds the use of three types of modeling framework -Statistical, Neural Network, and Agent Based models. Based on the literature review, this paper suggests the inclusion of environmental sustainability and gender equity in the accessibility measurement framework and a shift towards model synthesis to enhance the model accuracy and to reduce the present complexities in model building.

“…They employed multiple utility functions involving agents' wealth, goods price, and satisfaction to describe agents' decisionmaking in the process of goods exchange. Tomasiello et al [Tomasiello et al, 2020] presented an agent-based model for exploring job accessibility inequalities among different social groups. They focused their investigation on the impact of public transport and land-use policies on the residential location of the working population and their accessibility to job opportunities.…”

Traditionally, agent-based modelling and simulation relied on using utility function in agents’ decision-making process. Some drawbacks in this process are identified, and a potential remedy to the issue is proposed. This paper introduces a methodological framework for building a hybrid agent-based model that aims to overcome some of the elaborated problems related to the usage of a utility function. In the proposed approach, a machine learning algorithm substitutes the utility function, thus providing a possibility to use various algorithms. The proposed methodological framework has been applied to a case study of churn in a telecommunications company. Three models have been created and used for simulation experiments, two using the proposed methodology and one using utility function. The pros and cons of different approaches are identified and discussed.

“…In other words, public policies, investment, and immediate actions based on the measurement of movement do not necessarily reflect access to essential activities and services in order to sustain the urban way of life. Mobility measures are related to speed and coverage, and usually disregard or reduce the importance of non-motorized modes, focusing on increases of vehicle traffic, which can result in reductions in walkability, livability, and access to essential urban functions ( Cui et al, 2019 ; 2018 ; Deboosere et al, 2018 ; Farber et al, 2015 ; Garcia, 2016 ; Garcia et al, 2018 ; Geurs and van Wee, 2004 ; Lopes et al, 2020 ; Pritchard et al, 2019 ; Tomasiello et al, 2020 ). Generally, different population groups face different challenges and opportunities concerning the adherence to social distancing and contamination risk, which are disregarded when the data and analyses supporting decision is oriented to mobility.…”
