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).”
Evaluating equity and accessibility to jobs by public transport across Canada (2018, background): “It is thus not surprising that accessibility, especially in literature focusing on equity concerns, has often been used to identify which groups are being well served, and which are being underserved, or to predict who will benefit from a new transport or land use project (Foth et al., 2013).”
The Cost of Equity: Assessing Transit Accessibility and Social Disparity Using Total Travel Cost (2016, methodology): “Measuring accessibility by public transportation is important to evaluate the distribution of services in a region based on equity (Foth et al., 2013).”
Using principles of justice to assess the modal equity of regional transportation plans (2014, background): “While others have investigated inter-modal differences in access and changes in these differences over time (Benenson et al., 2011; Kawabata, 2009; Kawabata and Shen, 2007; Grengs, 2010; Cervero et al., 2002; Foth et al., 2013), we propose to introduce an explicit normative standard to evaluate thes”
Distributional effects of transport policies on inequalities in access to opportunities in Rio de Janeiro (2019, background): “Equity is a multidimensional concept and it has been addressed in the transport literature in relation to various issues such as environmental externalities (Schweitzer & Valenzuela, 2004), affordability (Eliasson, 2016; Farber, Bartholomew, Li, Páez, & Nurul Habib, 2014) and the fair distribution o”
Assessing the spatial equity of Seoul’s public transportation using the Gini coefficient based on its accessibility (2017, background): “Thus, horizontal equity ignores varying population densities in urban regions and fails to assess whether all residents require the same level of access to benefits (Foth et al., 2013).”
Civil rights guidance and equity analysis methods for regional transportation plans: a critical review of literature and practice (2013, methodology): “For example, Foth et al. (2013) used a composite indicator of four metrics of ‘‘social disadvantage’’ to categorize and compare accessibility and transit travel time between census tracts in Toronto.”
