Multi‐destination, Multi‐purpose Trip Chaining and Its Implications for Locational Accessibility: a Simulation Approach

Year: 1985

Type: article

Abstract: A trip-chaining model is described and demonstrated. Based upon a distinction between fixed and discretionary travel destinations, a typology of chains is used to construct a set of available and likely trip chains. These chains are weighted—according to cost per trip, frequency of selection, and quality of destination opportunities—to produce a chain-based measure of locational accessibility. Simulations demonstrate the relationship between chaining behavior, urban land use organization, and site-specific locational advantage.
