Overview of Findings on HSR Accessibility

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
High Speed Rail and Access Transit Networks

Abstract

This chapter provides an introductory background to understand the relationship between accessibility and HSR. The impact of speed on accessibility is first presented along with determinant HSR characteristics and operating models. Previous studies on the accessibility of HSR systems are thus analyzed and categorized. Finally, few pertinent implications are highlighted to develop a conceptual framework for the present study.
