Spatial effects of railway infrastructure: The role of accessibility in empirical studies and models High-speed rail infrastructure can have both spatial and economic effects. These effects can be studied empirically and by using land-use transport interaction models. Accessibility plays an important role in bath types of research. This paper focuses, firstly, on the concept of accessibility and includes an overview of accessibility indicators. Secondly it shows how accessibility is incorporated into land-use and transport theories and models, following on with a review on the way accessibility is used in empirical studies. Finally future research into the spatial and economic effects of high-speed rail infrastructure is discussed along with the manner in which accessibility in included. (Author/publisher)
