Abstract
Assessing Multi-Modal Transportation Accessibility Using ArcView Network Analyst
Track: Transportation and Logistics
Author(s): Lawrence Marcus, John Arrieta
The City of Rockville, Maryland, is leading an effort to assess multimodal transportation accessibility, simulating travel times to key activity centers by all modes of travel: automobile, truck, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian. The applications of this work effort are far-reaching including (1) improving master plan and development review analysis procedures, (2) setting capital improvement program priorities, and (3) maximizing the efficiency of existing traffic operations. Networks were created using ArcGIS, ArcPad, and ArcView, while travel time rings were developed using ArcView Network Analyst.
Other participants include FHWA, the University of Maryland, and Montgomery College.
