When considering access to healthcare, the question of whether the provider is available and accessible must be answered before the question of cost. Most contemporary techniques of estimating the spatial accessibility of healthcare cannot simultaneously take into account transportation times and the spatially distributed service capacity of healthcare providers. This paper creates the Comprehe...

This paper performs an assessment of tourists' perception towards semces associated with lodging (hotel factors), dining (restaurant factors), and transportation (transportation factors). The results of the empirical analysis suggested that these are the underlying dimentions held by the tourists: (1) Hotel factors Staff service quality, room quality, business serVices,. security, value and foo...

Predicting net induced demand can be helpful for better feasibility study before investigating transportation infrastructure. The net induced demand can be defined as newly generated trips, but not shifted trips, by some improvements in transportation systems. This study only focused on the net induced demand rather than any other concepts belong to the general term “induced demand”. The net in...

BACKGROUND Although researchers have explored associations between mixed-use development and physical activity, few have examined the influence of specific land uses. PURPOSE This study analyzes how the accessibility, intensity, and diversity of nonresidential land uses are related to walking for transportation. METHODS Multinomial logistic regression was used to investigate associations be...

Accessibility of main sea ports by road has become increasingly difficult due to rapid growth in container throughput. To deal with this challenge, new ways for handling containers and distribution of cargo flows are needed to define and implement. One possibility is going beyond container transportation and considering cargos inside the containers in the design and operation of transportation ...

Accessibility to goods and services is a complex notion which completely pervades territorial issues. Some aspects of accessibility are related to physical features and could be expressed using measurement units. Others are related to preferences that depend on values shared among people belonging to various social groups. These values are related to their specific constraints including economi...

This article compares three approaches to measuring transportation system performance and discusses their effects on planning decisions. Traffic-based measurements (such as vehicle trips, traffic speed and roadway level of service) evaluate motor vehicle movement. Mobility-based measurements (such as person-miles, door-to-door traffic times and ton-miles) evaluate person and freight movement. A...
