Accessibility Analysis

Accessibility is a very useful tool for bringing together all aspects of the transport/land use system. It provides an integrated measure of the land use system, the distribution of activities (employment, services etc) and the distribution of population. Furthermore, changes in accessibility are a good measure of user benefits from infrastructure improvements, land use changes or policy initiatives.

Accessibility also has strong links to development densities and can be used as a key input into population and employment projections, and optimal city shapes.

TransPosition has used accessibility analysis for a wide range of applications, in many cases making significant contributions to best practice in this area.

TransPosition developed the core technologies underlying Queensland Transport’s LUPTAI project and is using the new 4S modelling approach to extend accessibility analysis to a range of new applications with improved detail and flexibility.
