Abstract
The concept of accessibility is investigated,along with various types
of accessibility measures. The effect of public transport accessibility
on household car ownership is examined,using results of studies in the
United States of America and the United Kingdom.
The behaviour of the Jomet cor ownership model is studied in detail.
Values of calibration parameters are derived for Comet districts,Comet
zones and for households which were interviewed in home interview surveys.
Values of parameters of the land use and transportation system are also
found,and statistical tests carried out on the results.
From results of analysis of variance tests and regression tests on
the three levels of aggregation,it is concluded that there is a relationship
between the calibration parameters of the car ownership model
and public transport accessibility in the Comat study area.
Suggestions are made concerning the meaning of the calibration parameters
