Mobility Constraints and Accessibility to Work: Application to Stockholm
The project investigates workplace choice of individuals living in Stockholm while considering their time and space constraints throughout the day.
This work investigates workplace accessibility in Stockholm through a workplace choice model within a space-time prism concept. We develop a workplace accessibility measure which incorporates individuals' constraints in time, space and resources. The accessibility measure is derived from an activity based demand model formulated as a Markov decision process in a dynamic discrete choice framework, where space-time
constraints affects the possibilities of individuals to engage in activities during spare time. Indeed, the results show that spare time accessibility is significantly linked to workplace accessibility. Applications of the results show how space-time constraints, such as access to a car or having children, affect relocation benefits of a large workplace, car dependency, and segregation.
