Accessibility: a HOT topic in policy circles
has the potential to radically inform howwe think about the structure ofmetropolitan areas
loosely throw around terms and concepts
without further refinement, however, run
the risk of focusing on a topic w/o muchmeaning

but is Accessibility all about supply?
NO!
A hypothetical
Ideally, accessibility measures should
incorporate BOTH supply AND demand.

Estimating Decay Functions
Fitting decay curves
Modes: Auto, transit, bike, walk Purposes: Work, shopping, school,restaurant, recreation, trail access (bicycling)
-

Functional Form
Types of decay functions
Negative power: f(c) = c(-
)
Negative exponential: f(c) = e(-c)
Combined: f(c)
= c()e(-c)
We focus on the negative exponential
function Definition of impedance Time vs. network distance

Impedance: Distance vs. Time
Both have limitations as impedance
measures Distance
Cannot validate route choice, shortest path Difficult to validate speeds Time Duration data are self-reported, subject toperception error

Notes:1) For impedance functions where distance is the measure of separation, kilometers are the relevant units.
Where time is the measure of separation, units are in minutes.
2) The dependent variable (y) measures the fraction of trips covering a given distance.
5) Cells shaded red represent the recently acquired health care data. An impedance function can be calculated
with these data, but the mode cannot be specified.
3) All grayed cells represent impedance functions that could not be estimated due to limited data.
4) Cells shaded blue can be calculated given available data, but have not been needed thus far.
