Motorway investment, industrial transport costs, and sub-regional growth: A case study of the M62

Twenty years of accessibility improvements. The case of the Spanish motorway building programme

“…Very likely those are the areas along transport corridors. Linneker and Spence (1996) results differ form the earlier UK studies of Dodgson (1974) and Botham (1980) that suggested that road building during the 1960s and 1970s has had a centralising effect by favouring employment in the most accessible areas.…”

Exploring causality in trade and air passenger travel relationships: the case of Asia-Pacific, 1980–2010

“…As Meijers et al (2012) point out, these linkages have been debated ever since the first roads, railways and canals were built (e.g. Jefferson, 1928;Mitchell, 1964;Mohring and Harwitz, 1962;Dodgson, 1974;Chandra and Thompson, 2000), and this research field has remained vibrant in the face of the deployment of more recent infrastructures and services such as high-speed railway and airline networks (e.g. Bowen, 2000;Kasarda and Green, 2005;Levinson, 2012).…”

Space‐Time and Integral Measures of Individual Accessibility: A Comparative Analysis Using a Point‐based Framework

“…Accessibility measures have been used to evaluate the performance of transportation systems and access to employment opportunities and other facilities for different social groups (Allen, Liu, and Singer 1993;Davidson 1977;Dodgson 1974;Ewing, Haliyr, and Page 1994;Ihlanfeldt and Raper 1990;Handy 1993;Linneker and Spence 1992a,b;McLafferty 1982). Yet when the concept of accessibility was applied in past studies, it was often defined and operationalized in different ways depending on the problem and context of its application (Handy and Niemeier 1997;Ingram 1971;Morris, Dumble, and Wigan 1979).…”
