CHIAS BECERRIL, Luis; ITURBE POSADAS, Antonio  and  REYNA SAENZ, Francisco. Accessibility of locations within the State of Mexico to the paved highway network: a methodological approach. Invest. Geog [online]. 2001, n.46, pp.117-130. ISSN 2448-7279.

This paper presents a methodological procedure developed for the evaluation of accessibility of towns located in the State of Mexico to the main terrestrial communication roads (paved highways). The calculations of accessibility were carried out with the support of the Geographical Information Systems (GIS). The results allow to compare the traditional analysis of accessibility, as a two-dimensional space, to the precision obtained when relief is incorporated.
