Travel Distances in Daily Travel and Long-Distance Travel: What Role is Played by Urban Form? [PDF]

open access: possibleEnvironment and Planning A: Economy and Space, 2014
There is a lot of research on spatial differences in travel behaviour, specifically on travel distances. This research suggests that the distances travelled by the inhabitants of municipalities with lower population and neighbourhoods with lower density and less mixed land use are longer than those travelled by the inhabitants of cities with higher ...

Patient Travel Distance to Neurologist Visits

Neurology, 2023
The density of neurologists within a given geographic region varies greatly across the United States. We aimed to measure patient travel distance and travel time to neurologist visits, across neurologic conditions and subspecialties. Our secondary goal was to identify factors associated with long-distance travel for neurologic care.We performed a cross-

The Distance Travelled

Global Social Policy, 2005
In this article we examine an education project designed to improve the well-being of babies in China's welfare homes. The project is a product of the Chinese Government's decision to marketize its social policy, adopt a mixed funding model and globalize its adoption regime.

Distance travelled: The road remains unclear

Medical Education, 2023
@jzaraterod discusses Ellsworth et al's exploration of how "distance travelled" does (and could) influence medical school admissions by highlighting areas where greater illumination is required.

RAGWEED POLLEN TRAVELS LONG DISTANCE

Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, 2006
Altough Ambrosia artemisiifolia is considered a non relevant allergenic pollen in Italy, since it's not indigenous to the country, we found that 37% of our atopic patients are indeed sensitized to this aeroallergen. This could be due either to cross-reactivity with other plants of the Compositae family or to a primary sensitization to A. artemisiifolia

cntraveltime: Travel distance and travel time in China

The Stata Journal: Promoting communications on statistics and Stata, 2023
In this article, we introduce the command cntraveltime, which can calculate both the travel distance and the travel time between two locations in China with respect to different modes of transportation (driving, public transport, and cycling). Existing commands such as georoute, traveltime, and mqtime have difficulties in parsing Chinese locations ...

Abortion Utilization: Does Travel Distance Matter?

Family Planning Perspectives, 1976
The further a woman must travel in order to obtain an abortion, the less likely she is to get one. Distance is especially disadvantageous to blacks, and most so to black teenagers. Distance discourages use among rural as well as urban women. Opening new clinics increases abortion use in nearby communities.

Mathematical Models of Road Travel Distances

Management Science, 1979
Some management science models require estimates of distances between points in a road network based on the point coordinates. This paper evaluates the accuracy of a range of reasonable forms for distance estimating functions using samples of urban and rural road distances.

Distance Protection Based on Traveling Waves

IEEE Power Engineering Review, 1983
A technique is presented for rapid measurement of the distance to a fault using fault initiated travelling waves. The measurement uses the time it takes a given surge to travel from the relaying point to the fault and back. A correlation technique is used to recognise the surge returning from the fault and distinguish it from other surges present on ...

Travel distance versus navigation complexity

Proceedings of the 23rd ACM International Conference on Conference on Information and Knowledge Management, 2014
Research on cognitive science indicates that humans often use different criteria for route selection. An alternative type of spatial proximity search on road networks recently has been proposed to find the easiest-to-reach neighboring object with the smallest navigation complexity.
