LucaOctober 26, 2011It is admittedly a pamtargic rather than a rigorous definition, but this is how we have defined Accessibility Instruments' in the guidance for the report that the Working Units are making on own accessbility instruments. It is based on the initial action proposal, but importantly, as amended after presentations and discussions at the last WG2 meeting in Edinburgh, with inlcusiveness' as an important citerion. Accessibility Instruments can be:1.Measuring attributes of places or people – e.g. planning tools to identify how to make places more liveable or ways of identifying the opportunities available to people when planning new facilities or destinations.2.Analytical methods to apply accessibility principles within planning – e.g., parking policy standards based on accessibility criteria or public transport service delivery requirements based on people’s accessibility needs.3.Models to understand dynamic effects and connectedness in transport networks, in particular the dynamics between spatial plans and transport investments.4.Indicator calculation methods where indicators are used to audit, monitor or set standards for planning policies (e.g. travel time indicators)5.Others?An overarching consideration is that we are focussing on information/knowledge to support the planning/policymaking process not on planning/policy measures as such. For example, a policy to locate large traffic generators close to railway stations is not an Accessibility Instrument'. On the other hand, information/knowledge that helps identify what in this context a large traffic generator' is, or what the level of service of the railway station should be, could be considered an Accessibility Instrument'.
