Abstract: Transportation network is the basis of economic development. Analysis of the differences in the spatial pattern of accessibility is of great significance for population distribution and construction of transportation facilities. By using weighted average travel time as an indicator of accessibility, in this research we first calculated the accessibility of highway, railway, waterway, civil aviation, and integrated transportation in China with 2 317 counties as the basic analysis units. Second, we analyzed the geographic patterns of accessibility, which showed that (1) highways formed a "core-periphery" pattern with Zhengzhou, Wuhan, and Hefei at the cores; (2) the geographic pattern of railway accessibility showed a belt pattern that resembled the expansion of the transport network; the center of accessibility moved toward to Hefei and Nanjing; (3) the accessibility of civil aviation gradually decreased from hub airports to the trunk and feeder airports and displays a hub-and-spoke pattern; (4) the accessibility of waterways declined gradually from the coast to the inland; and (5) the integrated transportation accessibility had a reverse-to-natural gradient. The overall level of accessibility of four transportation modes was high with 70% above the average value of accessibility. For most of counties, transportation accessibility presented a distribution of "high in the east and low in the west" and was related with population distribution in China. Inequality of accessibility still existed in the internal region. Finally, some suggestions were put forward to deal with these problems.

Key words: accessibility, traffic network, weighted average travel time, geographic pattern, China
