three worlds coming together

12. South Africa
...the first world

13. South Africa has to deal with a major urban
transport problem

14. South Africa has to deal with a major urban
transport problem
leap in private vehicle usage

15. South Africa has to deal with a major urban
transport problem
leap in private vehicle usage
large commuting distances

16. South Africa has to deal with a major urban
transport problem
leap in private vehicle usage
large commuting distances
lack of adequate public transport facilities

17. South Africa has to deal with a major urban
transport problem
leap in private vehicle usage
large commuting distances
lack of adequate public transport facilities
...all leading to major traffic congestion

18. Toll road?

19. Toll road?
...but what about the poor people?

20. Equity issues
...the second world

Toll

26. The disutility of a displacement between A and B using
road n, will increase as a consequence of a toll.

27. A toll mainly enforces people to pay additional funds per
day: this disutility will be mainly experienced by daily
commuters travelling from and to their work locations.

29. Accessibility

30. The extent to which land-use and transport systems
enable groups of individuals to reach activities by means
of a transport mode.
Accessibility

37. A toll road will have an unequal impact on the
geographical accessibility to work opportunities with the
poor people being disadvantaged.
Hypothesis

38. To provide an ex ante insight into the distributional
effects of a toll charge on the geographical accessibility
of work locations.
Aim

39. GIS
...the third world

42. Network
Zones Zones

44. Network

Zones Zones

46. Assess the difference in levels of accessibility in the
before and after situation

47. Conclusion
three worlds coming together
