Abstract |
This study examines the influence of urban densities and concentrations on commuting distance and time in Suhag City, Egypt. Key parameters were investigated, such as urban centrality index (UCI), den...sity profile, and built-up area ratio. The geographical information system (GIS) and the open-route service (ORS) tool were utilized to obtain a comprehensive urban analysis of the 62 tracked commuters over one month. Findings indicate a negative correlation between UCI and commuting distance and a negligible impact on commuting time. The high-density clusters, such as businesses and social services, can significantly reduce average commuting distance and promote non-motorized modal choices. Residents in high-density zones, particularly in the central business district (CBD) or sub-centers, tend to have longer trips compared to those in moderate-density areas within the inner urban zone. A weak inverse correlation was reported between the built-up area ratio and average commuting distance and time, except in the urban periphery.show more
