Towards a spatial energy model: A theoretical comparison of accessibility and energy-use in regional settlement patterns
… theoretical investigation of the interaction of land-use and transport in relation to the use of energy. Of particular interest is the relationship between the spatial arrangement of settlements and the use of energy within them for both transport and building services. The literature of …

Visualizing urban accessibility metrics for incremental bus rapid transit projects
… access employment, social services, recreation, and other critical activities. Urban accessibility reflects the ease of such access with respect to locations within a city, and it is largely dependent on the city's land use and transport systems. A variety of urban accessibility metrics have been …

Application of rules of transportation planning based on principles of transport justice developed by Karel Martens in Windhoek
Transportation planning over the years focused on providing mobility for car users. The focus on mobility has left people who cannot afford automobiles without access to different activities within their societies. The lack of access, in turn, resulted in social exclusion. In the book ‘Transport …
