A flexible framework for measuring accessibility with destination bundling J. Transp. Geogr. (IF 3.834) Pub Date : 2021-01-12 Willem Klumpenhouwer; Wei Huang
A transit system's usefulness is governed by the freedom it provides to those who use it. This freedom, typically quantified as accessibility, is proportional to the amount and variety of destinations available to a potential transit user. Often, transit systems are designed with the commuter in mind; employment is a typical stand-in measure for all destinations when measuring accessibility in a city

Near “real-time” estimation of excess commuting from open-source data: Evidence from China's megacities J. Transp. Geogr. (IF 3.834) Pub Date : 2020-12-08 Hong Zhang; Shan Xu; Xuan Liu; Chengliang Liu
Urban commuting has continuously fascinated scholars and decision-makers. As few people live and work in the same place, there is always excess commuting (i.e., the non-optimal or surplus work travel occurring in cities because people do not minimize their journeys to work for most residents). Traditional commuting data sources (e.g., questionnaires and census surveys) are challenged by small samples
