There is a need for measures of accessibility to be more sensitive to transport policies. This paper will discuss a framework to develop a measure of accessibility that not only takes into consideration the travel behaviour of individuals but also other factors that are sensitive to transport planning policies. Such a measure will provide a valuable tool for transport planners to evaluate physical improvements to road networks and to evaluate and compare policies in terms of their relative cost of implementation, usefulness, efficiency and effectiveness. The framework focuses around travel information collected through travel diaries that indicate the travel patterns of individuals within households. Discussion will incorporate how such information can be used to develop behavioural models that reflect travel decisions by individuals.
