Comparing Spatial Accessibility and Travel Time Prediction to Commercial Centres by Private and Public Transport: A Case Study of Oforikrom District

Table 1

Barriers as indicators modelling accessibility.

Indicators	Assumptions
Topography (flat = 0, steep = 1)	If land topography is steep, there will be physical impediments to transport
Stops (min/km)	If stop time is high, then movement ceases most times or movement is slow
Turns (min/km)	The higher the turn time, the difficulty to change direction to destination
Travel speed (km/h)	The higher the travel speed, the easier it is to access activity centres
Potential demand (number of people/km)	If demand is high, there is delay in moving people to activity centres
Travel time (min/km)	If travel time is high, movement is faster and it is easier to access activity centres
