Using GIS in Mobility and Accessibility Analysis
In urban planning tasks, access to information about the location of companies with different characteristics is of great importance. The Dutch urban planning concept, the ABC concept, aims to describe the mobility profile of a company. This description is important in urban planning efforts. According to this, there is also a need for information about the accessibility from one zone to all other zones within a defined planning area, and how the accessibility changes with an alteration in land use and public transit services. Asplan Viak Stavanger as, in cooperation with the Norwegian Public Road Administration Rogaland, has developed a PC-based method of analysis and visualization of mobility and accessibility to be used in urban planning. For mobility analysis, a company database is established containing characteristics in accordance with the ABC concept. For analysis of accessibility, car and public transit time matrixes and population statistics from the complex traffic model TRIPS are
combined. The paper is supposed to highlight the use of a PC-based method of supporting urban planning efforts as well as the sophisticated combination of ARC software, Microsoft Office software, and complex traffic models. Software: ArcInfo, ArcView, Access, Excel, Gauss.
