Spatial accessibility and travel time estimates for the region around the Neusiedler Lake

Customized layers of spatial accessibility or travel time for different travel forms (foot, bike, car) for the Austrian-Hungarian case study region of the INSPIRE project. The maps were created using the global accessibility methodology by Weiss et al. (2018), but adapted for the specific case study region with different input dataset and at high spatial resolution. Provided are layers describing the accessibility in units of travel time (minutes) for either travel by foot, bike or car. Accessibility was assessed using different sources for each travel type: For foot travel, the accessibility was calculated from the nearest bus/ferry/train station. Here two versions are provided, with one (pathsonly) being clipped to the accessible road and path network. For bike travel, accessibility was calculated from the nearest bikestop or tourist accomodation. For car travel, it was assumed that any departure occurs either from the boundary of the spatial extent (e.g. outside study region) or major towns.
