A five-component conceptual model of calculated and perceived accessibility
This paper presents an accessibility literature review and updates the accessibility definition and conceptual model of Geurs and van Wee (2004) . The paper presents a five-component conceptual model for both calculated and perceived accessibility, which suggests that accessibility depends on the transport system, land use system, digital infrastructure and technologies, characteristics of people and their social interactions, and the temporal co…
How do E-Bikes measure up? Analyzing speed differences and network impacts of São paulo’s bikesharing system
Speed is a pivotal factor in cycling mobility, influencing travel times, convenience, accessibility, and mode choice. However, empirical models of cycling speed, particularly for electric bicycles, remain limited. This study aims to examine the impact of infrastructure and topographic determinants on cycling speeds and network performance of electric bicycles, compared to conventional bicycles. Using a comprehensive GPS-based dataset from São Pau…
Mobility variability of favela residents of São Paulo based on mobile phone data
Integrating traffic safety and accessibility
Several European cities have reduced city-wide posted speed limits to 30 km/h to enhance road safety, promote sustainable mobility, and improve liveability in cities. The trade-off between proven safety benefits and possible negative impacts on travel times and accessibility are however not fully clear. Therefore, this study examines the joint effects of introduction of the city-wide 30 km/h speed limit on the traffic safety and job accessibility…
Transit fares and space-time accessibility
This paper examines the role of transit fares and socio-demographic factors in shaping accessibility inequity, utilizing big data sources, including call detail records (CDR) and smart card data (SCD). Unlike prior studies, which often overlook financial constraints or rely on small-scale surveys, we develop a space-time measure that integrates fare costs and leverages large-scale mobility data to capture individualized accessibility. Applying th…
A methodological framework to conduct joint zone-based analysis of traffic safety and accessibility
Increasing accessibility and improving cycling safety are the primary objectives of cities and policymakers. In the literature, there are several studies examining cycling safety and few studies examining cycling accessibility. However, few studies conduct a joint examination of these two topics to understand the relationship between them. This paper aims to develop and apply a methodological framework to conduct a joint zone-based analysis of tr…
The influence of panel effects and inertia on travel cost elasticities for car use and public transport
Studies on the impact of changes in travel costs on car and public transport use are typically based on cross-sectional travel survey data or time series analysis and do not capture intrapersonal variation in travel patterns, which can result in biased cost elasticities. This paper examines the influence of panel effects and inertia in travel behaviour on travel cost sensitiveness, based on four waves of the Mobility Panel for the Netherlands (co…
The uneven geography of the accessibility and environmental quality in the global north and south
The impact of temporal resolution on public transport accessibility measurement
In recent years there has been a significant increase of temporally variable analyses of accessibility by public transport as a result of the increased availability of open and standardized time table information in the form of GTFS (General Transit Feed Specification) data. To date, very little attention has been paid to systematically analyze the impact of temporal resolutions on the results. Different authors have applied different standards, …

Automatic Trip Detection with the Dutch Mobile Mobility Panel
This paper examines the accuracy of trip and mode choice detection of the last wave of the Dutch Mobile Mobility Panel, a large-scale three-year, smartphone-based travel survey. Departure and arrival times, origins, destinations, modes, and travel purposes were recorded during a four week period in 2015, using the MoveSmarter app for a representative sample of 615 respondents, yielding over 60 thousand trips. During the monitoring period, respond…

The spatial–temporal dynamics in job accessibility by car in the Netherlands during the crisis
This paper analyzes the changes in spatial–temporal job accessibility by car in the Netherlands during the economic crisis (2009–14). It also assesses which component change is the most determinant in accessibility changes per municipality and part of the day. The paper shows that changes in job distribution reduced accessibility in almost the entire country, except around Amsterdam. Improvements in the road network capacity increased accessibili…

Job accessibility impacts of intensive and multiple land-use scenarios for the Netherlands’ Randstad Area
Ex-post Evaluation of Thirty Years of Compact Urban Development in the Netherlands
Despite the wide array of academic research, the impacts of compact urban development are not very well understood. What is lacking are, first, the insights into how a region or country would have appeared under policy regimes other than those realised and, secondly, a broad evaluation of relevant land use, transport, accessibility and related societal and ecological impacts. Here, we report on an initial attempt to establish a methodology and ev…
