Spatial and Temporal Reasoning in Activity-based Modelling

The evolution of modelling paradigms in transport engineering seems unduly rapid. This project argues that the adoption of new modelling methodologies must be justified not merely by novelty or trend, but by a true capacity to better capture the realities around how we travel. A principled approach is paramount for Brisbane 2032 Olympics and Para-Olympics Games successful planning. We tackle this issue by comparing mathematical instruments, such as qualitative calculus, to the latest and greatest transport model in Australia, the Victorian Activity-based Model. In our alliance with the Queensland State, we aim to bring our insights to Queensland. Thereby, taking Queesnland's counterpart to the very top of the podium. Furthermore, we aim to establish foundations that can guide future possibilities for the application of logic in transport modelling.
