Interurban accessibility is proposed as a new driver-oriented highway performance measure that indicates ease of access to a destination on interurban expressways connecting hub cities. This study develops a method for estimating the proposed measure based on a driver-utility approach. Through a numerical example, how to determine the planning level of the proposed measure is demonstrated in comparison with a required level of quality of traffic service.
