Accessibility measures which have been used in a number of previous studies are reviewed and their applicability for use in trip generation modelling appraised. The paper then outlines the ideal requirements of accessibility, measures for use in trip production modelling work and then proceeds to define a number of private transport, public transport and 'all modes' (private and public) accessibility measures. These are then tested using data collected in Middlesbrough, and the 'best' measures together with the improvement in the explanatory power of the trip production models by the introduction of the accessibility measures, determined.(a) (TRRL)
