Node value per ha — condition 2019

This map shows for each location of 1 ha in the Flemish and Brussels-Capital regions the total score for the junction value of collective transport, taking into account the nodes that are part of the rail network (train, tram, (pre)metro, express tram, light rail) and the A bus stops of De Lijn, for the existing nodes in reference year 2019. The nodes charged are all nodes that are part of the rail network and are thus served by collective rail transport (train, tram, (pre)metro, express tram, light rail) in Flanders and Brussels and a selection of bus stops from De Lijn and STIB. For railway stations in Wallonia, which can be reached from Flanders or Brussels by rail (e.g. Liège or Namur), and a selection of railway stations abroad (including Paris Nord, London St Pancras or Aachen) are also charged. Unlike in ‘state 2015’ which was the result of the original study, we maintain the following assumptions for the selection of bus stops: Only bus stops where lines with at least a 30± 5 minutes frequency two same stops at one another during off-peak hours (Tuesday/Thursday between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.) will be charged. All lines calling at these bus stops (including those with an e.g. an hour frequency) are included in the calculation of the indicators. First, the node value of the individual nodes is calculated by means of a weighted or non-weighted aggregation of a number of sub-indicators described in the specialised literature. Afterwards, the junction value is radiated to each ha grid cell in the Flemish and Brussels-Capital regions through distance decay functions, which reflect how the node value decreases as the journey time to the node increases. For more details about the nodes chosen, the part indicators used and the method used for the distance decay functions, refer to the final report of the original study that you will find at: https://archief-algemeen.omgeving.vlaanderen.be/xmlui/handle/acd/230143 and, on the other hand, to the additional report that describes the update and (limited) change in the methodology of the results for condition 2019 and which you can find at: https://archief-algemeen.omgeving.vlaanderen.be/xmlui/handle/acd/743869
