摘要
Many popular approaches to assessing the connectivity of automobile and pedestrian route networks have been shown to have limited efficacy. This article identifies deficiencies in a recently developed model for applying pedestrian route directness and proposes a revised model as an effective measure of connectivity that includes a level-of-service assessment too.
