英国无障碍规划的主要理由之一是减少与交通相关的社会排斥。本文关注的是英国交通运输部 (DfT) 在其地方交通规划中的无障碍规划指南 (DfT 2005) 中建议的指标的相关性，以及提供可评估政策成功与否的无障碍基准的可能性。该论文报告了 EPSRC 资助项目 AUNT-SUE（可持续城市环境交通的可达性和用户需求）的一部分所进行的研究。本文首先分析老年人的旅行特征，然后考虑 DfT 建议的指标在多大程度上反映了对这些群体可能重要的旅行类型和特征。该文件还报告了旅行预期小组调查的结果。然后，本文根据对旅程模式和焦点小组讨论的分析提出了临时基准。
One of the principal rationales for accessibility planning in the UK is the reduction of transport-related social exclusion. This paper is concerned with an examination of the relevance of the indicators suggested by the UK’s Department for Transport (DfT) in their Guidance on Accessibility Planning in Local Transport Plans (DfT 2005) and the possibility of providing accessibility benchmarks against which the success of policies can be assessed. The paper reports on research undertaken as part of an EPSRC funded project - AUNT-SUE (Accessibility and User Needs in Transport for Sustainable Urban Environments). The paper starts with an analysis of the journey characteristics of older people and then considers the extent to which the DfTs suggested indicators reflect the types and characteristics of journeys likely to be important to these groups. The paper also reports on the results of a panel survey on travel expectations. The paper then proposes provisional benchmarks, based on an analysis of journey patterns and focus group discussions.
