This paper reports on the development of dynamic space-time prism (STP) based accessibility measures and computational procedures for assessing individual accessibility in networks with time-varying flow. Static network-based STPs are extended to the case where network flow and travel velocities vary across time due to congestion. These tools can evaluate the accessibility of travelers under different traffic congestion scenarios, alternative network flow control strategies, and activity scheduling policies (e.g., flextime and telecommuting).
