Uber, Public Transit, and Urban Transportation Equity: A Case Study in New York City (2019, methodology): “Following Delbosc and Currie (2011) and Kaplan et al. (2014), the Gini coefficient is approximated as: G ¼ 1 Xn k Xk Xk 1ð Þ Yk þ Yk 1ð Þ; (2) where k is the ranked order of each CBG’s transportation supply, and k¼ 1, … , n; Xk is the cumulative proportion of population, with X0 ¼ 0 and Xn ¼ 1; Yk…”
Distributive justice and equity in transportation (2016, background): “A similar idea has been proposed on the setting of minimum transport access to basic destinations such as food stores, schools, and medical services (Delbosc & Currie, 2011; Van Wee & Geurs, 2011), although the definition of minimum accessibility thresholds still presents great challenges (see next…”
The impacts of high-speed rail extensions on accessibility and spatial equity changes in South Korea from 2004 to 2018 (2015, background): “Thus, research focusing on evaluating public transportation service in the perspective of equity is closer to vertical equity, which treats relative service quality that benefits transportation-disadvantaged people (Delbosc and Currie, 2011, Foth et al., 2013).”
Assessing the spatial equity of Seoul’s public transportation using the Gini coefficient based on its accessibility (2017, methodology): “Delbosc and Currie (2011) and Bhandari, Kato, and Hayashi (2009) presented a new approach to assess the equity of public transportation service provision using the Lorenz curve from the field of economics to compare the distribution of public transportation supply across population and employment…”
A method to evaluate equitable accessibility: combining ethical theories and accessibility-based approaches (2016, methodology): “(2012) used it to evaluate efficiency and equity effects of ramp control schemes, Karlström and Franklin (2009) used it to evaluate equity effects of the Stockholm congestion pricing trial and Delbosc and Currie (2011) have used it to assess the social exclusion effects of public transport services ”
Assessing equity in transport accessibility to work and study: The Bogotá region (2017, methodology): “Examples of these studies included the study by Delbosc and Currie (2011a), where the equity of the transit system in Melbourne, Australia was evaluated; and the research by Karlström and Franklin (2009), which studied the equity effects of the congestion pricing system in Stockholm.”
Understanding the role of equity in active transportation planning in the United States (2017, background): “Often, a spatial equity analysis is conducted first to stratify by geographic group, followed by a demographic analysis of geographic groups (Delbosc & Currie, 2011; Delmelle & Casas, 2012; Grengs, 2001; Griffin & Sener, 2015).”
Discussing Equity and Social Exclusion in Accessibility Evaluations (2011, methodology): “The Gini coefficient has been applied in the literature to assess the level of equality of accessibility, e.g. Geurs et al. (2001), Ramjerdi (2006), Juan et al. (2008) and Delbosc and Currie (2011).”
