Average Hospital Travel Times During Morning Peak

Australian data from the 2019 Infrastructure Audit models average weekday travel times to the nearest hospital via public transport during the morning peak period (7am to 9am). Infrastructure Australia created this geospatial layer for strategic transport analysis. The dataset was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify geographic disparities in healthcare access by analyzing average_travel_time values across regions.
• Model the impact of public transport schedule changes on hospital accessibility during the am_peak period.
• Correlate travel_time metrics with demographic data to assess service equity for vulnerable populations.
• Benchmark transport performance for infrastructure investment planning using modeled congestion data.

Strengths

• Data supports temporal analysis with a focus on a specific, high-demand am_peak time window.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license allowing for broad reuse and adaptation.
• Derived from a national strategic audit, providing authoritative context for transport and health planning.

Limitations

• The specific data volume, such as row count or geographic sample size, is not documented.
• Temporal coverage is limited to a modeled scenario for a single audit year (2019).
• Data represents average modeled performance, which may not reflect real-time or individual trip variability.
