The objective of the study described in this paper was to develop a model to access the accessibility of locations (resulting in 'accessibility profiles') and the mobility requirements of businesses and public facilities (resulting in 'mobility profiles'), and to apply this model to employment areas in the Amsterdam agglomeration. To assess accessibility of locations, a number of criteria have been set up. A characterization of business and public facilities was formulated on the basis of the traffic requirements created by their specific activities. Applying mobility variables to the various types of business results in a number of mobility profiles. The accessibility and mobility profiles were set out in a model, which provides insight into the appropiate location for specific types of business. This model has been applied to important existing and proposed employment areas in the Amsterdam agglomeration. The selected locations were evaluated as A, B or C and the accessibility profile of each location has been assessed. By making an inventory of businesses and public facilities in existing employment areas, the extent to which the accessibility profiles and the mobility profiles corresponded could be assessed. The model was then used to assess the suitability of businesses or public facilities of various types for proposed and restructed locations. (Author/TRRL)
