contents This study proposes a new approach to assessing urban accessibility using the competitive equilibrium method, an adaptation of the balancing cost method that incorporates competition among users into dual accessibility metrics. The need for this method arises from verifying the inability of the balancing cost method to measure the competitive dynamics of transport systems precisely. The method works by continuously updating available opportunities based on the number of competitors, capturing competition effects, and differentiating regions according to demand and supply. The application results in three cities in the interior of São Paulo demonstrate that competitive equilibrium is significantly more sensitive to employment supply variations and can measure potential competitors by area. In addition, the data used, and the computational tools developed are made available, allowing for the replication of the work and application in future studies.
