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
A case study – Which corridor to invest in?
