Accessibility measurement of highway transportation networks based on closeness-accessibility.

ABSTRACT: Accessibility is a central concept in transport geography research. Quantitative assessment of highway network accessibility aids in assessing road network efficiency, urban layout optimization, functional zoning and sustainable development. Current metrics for assessing accessibility primarily concentrate on examining the relationship between land use and transportation networks, overlooking the influence of trip demand and node centrality on highway network accessibility. To clarify these impacts, borrowing from concepts in network science, we propose a new centrality measure called closeness-accessibility. This approach utilizes closeness centrality of network nodes as a weight to assess the interaction potential between nodes, enhances the gravity-based accessibility of demand points b
