Transportation Access Index for Remote Communities That Considers Modal Seasonality
In northern, remote regions, community access can differ between the seasons due to modal availability. Existing accessibility measures have not been developed within, and considering, contexts where transportation modes are seasonally available. We introduce a new accessibility index that uses a co...
