This project aims to contribute to the use of accessibility as a network performance metric. The ARRB accessibility metric or AAM was formulated. AAM includes accessibility to various destination types including work, school and retail & recreation. It covers accessibility by car, public transport, cycle and walk. Case studies on the strategic application of AAM were conducted using Perth and Melbourne data. The relationship of AAM scores with travel distance, mode share and land price was analysed. Joondalup (WA), Mandurah (WA) and Burwood Heights, City of Whitehorse (Victoria) were assessed using AAM as demonstration of the application of the AAM at the neighbourhood level. Accessibility levels in the three study areas were compared with the metropolitan average. The AAM was compared with three metrics: Koenig accessibility metric, LUPTAI and NZTA accessibility metric.
