Accessibility has attracted wide interest from urban planners and transportation engineers. It is an important indicator to support the development of sustainable policies for transportation systems in major events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Taxis are a vital travel mode in urban areas that provide door-to-door services for individuals to perform urban activities. This study, with taxi trajectory data, proposes an improved method to evaluate dynamic accessibility depending on traditional location-based measures. A new impedance function is introduced by taking characteristics of the taxi system into account, such as passenger waiting time and the taxi fare rule. An improved attraction function is formulated by considering dynamic availability intensity. Besides, we generate five accessibility scenarios containing different indicators to compare the variation of accessibility. A case study is conducted with the data from Shenzhen, China. The results show that the proposed method found reduced urban accessibility, but with a higher value in southern center areas during the evening peak period due to short passenger waiting time and high destination attractiveness. Each spatio-temporal indicator has an influence on the variation in accessibility.

ResumoO controle postural é um requisito imprescindível para a execução das habilidades motoras durante as atividades de vida diária, logo, há a necessidade constante de ajuste dos segmentos corporais para garantir a autonomia e a independência da mobilidade humana. Os ajustes posturais são resultantes da interação do sistema sensório-motor e da sua correlação com o meio ambiente, produzindo orientação e estabilidade postural esperada durante a execução das atividades, sendo essa estática ou dinâmica. Deste modo, o objetivo do estudo foi apresentar os impactos funcionais ocorridos durante a posição de pé parada ou em movimento em superfície de inclinada, principalmente, entre os idosos. O estudo se fundamentou na revisão bibliográfica, no período temporal de 2006 a 2016, por meio da análise das bases de dados em Pubmed, Ebsco, SciELO, Medline e Lilacs, com a utilização dos termos: Plataforma de força, plano inclinado, plano horizontal e comportamento do centro de pressão. Os resultados apontaram que as situações rotineiras do dia a dia, realizadas em superfícies inclinadas, como um mero ato de subir ou até ficar parado em uma ladeira, pode ser um preditor ambiental para instabilidade postural, tornando-se necessário a reavaliação do olhar da intervenção terapêutica meramente clínica, passando a ampliar para as circunstâncias vinculadas com as questões da acessibilidade urbana. Palavras chaves: Plataforma de Força.

Postural adjustments result from the interaction of the sensorimotor system and their  correlation with the environment, producing orientation and postural stability expected during the execution of the activities, being static or dynamic. Thus, the objective of the study was to present the functional impacts occurred during standing or moving position on inclined surface, mainly among the elderly. The study was based on the bibliographic review, in the period from 2006 to 2016, through the analysis of databases in Pubmed, Ebsco, SciELO, Medline and Lilacs, using the terms Force platform, inclined plane, horizontal plane and pressure center behavior. The results showed that routine everyday situations on inclined surfaces, such as a mere act of climbing or even standing on a slope, may be an environmental predictor for postural instability, making it necessary to re-evaluate the clinical intervention, starting to extend the issues of urban accessibility to the related circumstances. Keywords: Force Platform. Horizontal Plane. Pressure Center Behavior.
