Unemployment and Public Transport Job Accessibility (PTJA)

Urban Transport MSc at Uni of Glasgow. Dissertation project on relationship between unemployment and public transport job accessibility in Greater Manchester. Subsequently extended the study to other combined authorities for comparison.

Public Transport Job Accessibility (Demand-adjusted)

Public transport job accessibility distribution for each area calculated by summing the numbers of jobs decayed according to travel time by public transport to their location. Travel time matrix calculated using R5R, Rapid Realistic Routing algorithm for multi-model transit journeys.

PTJA distributions for three city regions are shown below.

Greater Manchester Combined Authority

Liverpool City Region Combined Authority

West Yorkshire Combined Authority

Interactive Mapping

An interactive map of Liverpool and Manchester showing job distributions from the Business Register and Employment Survey and Public Transport Job Accessibility (Demand Adjusted). There is a similar map for West Yorkshire available in the docs folder but displaying all three combined authorities on one map made the file too large for github.

Population Distribution in GMCA and WYCA

Created using Niloy Biswas's population density map method.
