Accessibility is a fundamental but often neglected concept in transportation analysis and planning. Three complementary views of accessibility have evolved in the literature. The first is the constraints-oriented approach, best implemented by Hagerstrand's space-time prisms. The second perspective follows a spatial interaction framework and derives "attraction-accessibility measures" that compare destinations' attractiveness with the travel costs required. A third approach measures the benefit provided to individuals by the transportation/land-use system. This paper reconciles the three complementary approaches by deriving space-time accessibility and benefit measures that are consistent with the rigorous Weibull axiomatic framework for accessibility measures. This research also develops computational procedures for calculating these measures within network structures. This provides realistic accessibility measures that reflect the locations, distances and travel velocities allowed by an urban transportation network. Since their computational burdens are reasonable, they can be applied at the urban-scale using a GIS.
