The Use of Antifragility Heuristics in Transport PlanningRICHARD ISTED

A Long Term Understanding of Transport

An Activity based understanding – a “Platonic” approach

The problem for Transport Models in the Long Term

• People change their behavioural preferences

• Travel modes and other technological features that are currently not available may be in the future

• Travel modes that are currently available may become redundant

• “Black Swan” events defy inductive reasoning in-built in transport models.

Defining Fragility, Resilience and Antifragility

Concavity and Convexity in responses

Concavity Convexity

A simple example - investment in public transport
