Two for the Road: Measuring Regional Disparity and Agglomeration in Human Development Level and Transportation Infrastructure
Table 1
The weight of transportation infrastructure with different types.
| | Type | Criterion | Weight |
| | Highways | Freeways | Contains freeway exits | 2.5 | | Lh ≤ 30 km | 2.0 | | 30 km Lh ≤ 60 km | 1.0 | | Lh 60 km | 0 | | Ordinary highways | 1st | 2.5 | | 2nd | 2.0 | | 3rd | 1.5 | | Others | 1 |
| | Railways | | Contains railway station | 2.5 | | Lh ≤ 30 km | 2.0 | | 30 km Lh ≤ 60 km | 1.0 | | Lh 60 km | 0 |
| | Airports | | Contains airport | 2.0 | | Lh ≤ 30 km | 1.0 | | 30 km Lh ≤ 60 km | 0.5 | | Lh 60 km | 0 |
