Abstract
The urban community is a complex system of interrelationships thus necessitating the coordinated comprehensive analysis of the subsystems in order that the impact of future changes of one or more of the subsystems may be determined. This report attempts to identify one means of quantifying changes in the accessibility of subareas of the urbanized area as provided by the transportation system and as perceived by the individual household types comprising the urban area. These changes in accessibility have been shown to affect such locational decisions as land use development and particularly the household location and associated tripmaking. The disaggregate accessibility model based on the gravity model concept as presented herein meets the particular needs of the urban modeler suggesting further expansion and refinement of the application to alternative travel modes and trip purpose opportunities.
