Perceived accessibility, mobility, and connectivity of public transportation systems

“…An efficient public transportation system has the potential of increasing the level of mobility in cities. Hence, public transportation system should consider mobility of the system along with accessibility to stops/stations and connectivity to other transportation modes (Cheng and Chen, 2015).…”

“…Research into the perceptions of accessibility is scarce (see Cheng and Chen, 2015, for a recent example) as is research into related land-use preferences (see Levine and Frank, 2007, for an example). The suggestion made above to compare the calculated levels of accessibility using data on land use, the transport system and perceptions of accessibility, can be generalized to all kinds of accessibility.…”

Accessibility is a key concept in the field of transport geography. There is a rich, though not very mature, body of literature on this topic which is largely application-driven. The focus in the literature is generally on methods and concept and/or on applications. Applications generally focus on ex ante or ex post evaluations of the implications for accessibility of (candidate) policy plans. An important question is which are the main challenges in the area of accessibility research? This paper aims to examine this question and provide a research agenda for the coming one or two decades or so. The focus is on putting relatively new topics on the agenda, rather than making suggestions for improvements of given accessibility indicators. The paper does not aim to provide a complete list, but rather proposes avenues for future research focusing on (1) indicators to express accessibility, and (2) evaluation. In the area of indicators the challenges include the impact of ICT on accessibility; the inclusion of the robustness of the transport system in indicators; comparing perceptions of accessibility and traditional accessibility indicators; the option value; and the indicators of accessibility for goods transport, air transport, and slow modes. In the area of evaluation the paper discusses the pros and cons of the logsum as an accessibility measure, ethical aspects, comparisons of accessibility indicators to evaluate a specific case, and the needs of the clients of accessibility research.

“…For the FLM of transit service, it is vital for the walking path to have a good access to the station from people's origin. The path should also be continuous so that it will take people directly to access the transit service without making a detour while walking (Cheng and Chen, 2015;Papa and Bertolini, 2015;Sarkar et al, 2015).…”

ABSTRACT:Every transit trip begins and ends with pedestrian travel. People need to walk to access the transit services. However, their choice to walk depends on many factors including the connectivity, level of comfort and safety. These factors can influence the pleasantness of riding the transit itself, especially during the first/last mile (FLM) journey. This had triggered few studies attempting to measure the pedestrianfriendliness a walking environment can offer. There were studies that implement the pedestrian experience on walking to assess the pedestrianfriendliness of a walking environment. There were also studies that use spatial analysis to measure it based on the path connectivity and accessibility to public facilities and amenities. Though both are good, but the perception-based studies and spatial analysis can be combined to derive more holistic results. This paper proposes a framework for selecting a pedestrian-friendly path for the FLM transit journey by using the two techniques (perception-based and spatial analysis). First, the degree of importance for the factors influencing a good walking environment will be aggregated by using Analytical Network Process (ANP) decision rules based on people's preferences on those factors. The weight will then be used as attributes in the GIS network analysis. Next, the network analysis will be performed to find a pedestrian-friendly walking route based on the priorities aggregated by ANP. It will choose routes passing through the preferred attributes accordingly. The final output is a map showing pedestrian-friendly walking path for the FLM transit journey.
