Access to Destinations: Development of Accessibility Measures
Principal Investigator:
David Levinson, Associate Professor, Civil Engineering
Project Summary:
The goal of this research is to develop a set of possible performance measurements that can be used to analyze variable sets of historic land-use and travel-time data, including data from freeway networks, surface streets, transit systems, and non-motorized travel to understand accessibility--the relative ability to reach destinations on a transportation network. These measures can be used in a variety of operational planning and public involvement activities of transportation agencies to ascertain how investments, transportation strategies, and land use policies affect the performance of the transportation-land use system. This will include working with Mn/DOT staff to define possible performance measures, and will extend previous research.
