“…It may also play an important role in helping to satisfy psycho-social needs, which are deemed necessary for well-being, such as relating well with others, feelings of competence and mastery, and heightened autonomy (Ellaway et al, 2003;Musselwhite and Haddad, 2010;Vella-Brodrick and Stanley, 2013). Increasingly though, as Shergold and Parkhurst (2012) point out, it is not just mobility itself, which is seen as instrumental as an enabling factor, but the 'accessibility' of the locations, services and facilities that people may need to reach or engage with to avoid exclusion; described as 'opportunities' by Moseley (1979) and as 'routine journeys' that are essential for a 'normal standard of living' by Nutley (2003). This means that social exclusion, defined by Kenyon et al (2002) as 'the unique interplay of a number of factors, whose consequence is the denial of access, to an individual or group, to the opportunity to participate in the social and political life of the community, resulting not only in diminished material and non-material quality of life, but also in tempered life chances, choices and reduced citizenship' is a phenomenon with substantial transport-related dimensions.…”

As the global population continues to grow, age and urbanise, it is vital to provide accessible transport so that neither ageing nor disability constitutes barriers to social inclusion. While technology can enhance urban access, there is a need to study the ways by which transport technologies – real-time information, pedestrian navigation, surveillance and road pricing – could be more effectively adopted by users. The reason for this is that some people, and particularly vulnerable populations, are still likely to be reluctant to use (or even avoid using) technologies perceived as ‘unknown’ and ‘complicated’. On the basis of evidence from British and Swedish case studies on older people's perceptions of the aforementioned transport technologies, as well as of a Swedish case study of visually impaired people's perceptions, this paper makes the case that technology is only one tool in a complex sociotechnical system, and one that brings challenges. The authors also suggest that although vulnerable populations are not homogeneous when expressing their attitudes towards transport technologies, their assessment criteria tend to be ‘prosocial’ as they usually consider that the societal benefits of the assessed technologies outweigh the personal benefits. Emphasising aspects linked to the technologies' prosocial potential or relevance to the individual user could therefore increase acceptance.

“…Nutley (2003) remarca la importancia que tiene la ausencia del transporte público en entornos rurales, lo que induce a la participación de vehículos privados. Lo anterior influye en la generación de disparidades interurbanas en los tiempos de viaje, principalmente por motivos de trabajo, entre los vehículos privados y el transporte público.…”

La accesibilidad es una parte integral en la planificación del transporte, el cual impacta en nuestra calidad de vida. El caso de estudio de este trabajo es la accesibilidad de las periferias en los ámbitos metropolitanos. Debido a la diversidad de resultados, dependiendo del indicador de accesibilidad y de los insumos empleados, la investigación propone un procedimiento metodológico que considera los indicadores de separación e interacción espacial para analizar la accesibilidad por medio de transporte (automóvil y autobús), contrastando los resultados con las tasas promedio de viajes. Considerando el procedimiento, los resultados muestran que el indicador de interacción espacial refleja resultados más acordes en la periferia urbana.

“…The limited transportation alternatives in rural areas reduce the accessibility to several critical public services and amenities, preventing the residents to make use of them, as they are usually located in the urban distant centres; and therefore, by developing the transportation means would expand their accessibility to comfort the social inclusion of those in rural areas (Nutley, 2003).…”
