Sample Calculation
WHAT ELSE
CAN BE SEEN?
Using the PTAL method as a base, and adding a number of factors as, the resulting indicator and local factors that would be used for calculating accessibility in the study area are as follows:
adjusting the maximum walking time to 12 minutes and distance to 960m
using a reliability factor of 2 for MyCiTi services
using a service congestion factor of 1 and thus the full service frequency as the average waiting time to account for often congested conditions
adding a safety factor of 0 to the walking time (thus not adding anything) to account for the area’s safe routes
adding a disability factor of 0 to walking time (thus not adding anything) to account for good disabled access
revising the accessibility index range, where 15.01 and higher accounts for an excellent accessibility level
