Year Definition/ Discussion 1988 th number of trips made. the b ft i d number of, and/or the ease of making journeys 1981 accessibility is a function of land-use intensity and transport supply y p y 1992 accessibility is a description of how conveniently land-uses are located in relation to each other and how easy or difficult it is to reach these land use activities via the transport network of both public and private transport modes. 2000 Often understood as the ease of access to destinations, amongst other parameters i (accessibility) encompasses id it ( ibili ) ideas of costs in time and money; f i i d extent, comfort and frequency of the public transport system; and the distance to be negotiated to reach destinations such as shops, work places and schools 2001 Access to urban activities for a population presupposes the existence of a public transport service offering all city dwellers, whatever their income dwellers level, age or handicaps, the possibility of getting to work or school, going shopping and enjoying themselves. Accessibility is good when density is high because distances to be covered are low and when public transport is fast.

Accessibility is a description of the proximity of destinations of choice and the facilitation offered by the transport systems (including public transport and non-motorized modes) to reach them.

Year Definition/ Discussion 1974 mobility is closely linked with personal and individual freedom, and lack of mobility freedom mobility is often associated with the repression of basic freedoms and even human rights 1988 the number of kilometers traveled 2000 The amount of travel people undertake measured by per capita vehicle The undertake per kilometers traveled A positive relationship exists between mobility and such indicators as transport energy use, motor vehicle ownership and use, journey to work distance, journey to work speed and general car speed. 2001 motorized mobility, measured by average annual distances traveled by city dwellers in automobiles, motorized two-wheeled vehicles, taxis and public transport 2003 the movement of people or goods The Th mobility perspective defines transportation problems in terms of bilit ti d fi t t ti bl i t f constraints on physical movement, and so favors solutions that increase motor vehicle system capacity and speed
Mobility
Roberts Ross

Mobility is both the ability to travel to destinations of choice and the amount of movement necessary to do so.
