“…UrMoAC also has the capability to compute accessibility measurements to other destinations that could be considered to expand the current research and that are indeed very important to fully understand accessibility levels in a given area; nevertheless, they go beyond the scope of work of this research. In the same way, this study analyzed one-way trips as a starting point to evaluate the accessibility of a city, and although it was not implemented in this study, one way to improve the implemented methodology is by including the analysis of round trips [33], activity paths, and travel times into the simulation with the help of other open-source tools such as SUMO [34] and TAPAS [35].…”

Urban planning has a crucial role in helping cities meet the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and robust datasets to assess mobility accessibility are central to smart urban planning. These datasets provide the information necessary to perform detailed analyses that help develop targeted urban interventions that increase accessibility in cities as related to the emerging vision of the 15 Minute City. This study discusses the need for such data by performing a comparative urban accessibility analysis of two university campuses and their surrounding urban areas, here defined as the Stanford District, located in the San Francisco Bay Area in the United States, and Distrito Tec in Monterrey, Mexico. The open-source tool Urban Mobility Accessibility Computer (UrMoAC) is used to assess accessibility measures in each district using available data. UrMoAC calculates distances and average travel times from block groups to major destinations using different transport modes considering the morphology of the city, which makes this study transferable and scalable. The results show that both areas have medium levels of accessibility if cycling is used as the primary mode of transportation. Hence, improving the safety and quality of cycling in both cities emerges as one of the main recommendations from the research. Finally, the results obtained can be used to generate public policies that address the specific needs of each community’s urban region based on their accessibility performance.
