Future work
Not yet documented
This chapter appears in the agreed handbook structure but has no corresponding section in the source document. The handbook moves directly from the case studies to the references.
The page exists so its URL and sidebar position are fixed now rather than after publication.
What the handbook implies is outstanding
While no Future work section was written, the conversion surfaced a consistent set of gaps and stated intentions across the chapters. They are collected here because several are candidates for this chapter, and because the list is useful in its own right.
Components awaiting specification
| Component | Chapter | What is missing |
|---|---|---|
| Social behavioural impacts | Chapter 4 | The entire chapter. Headings only, no definition, tool, inputs or outputs |
| UKCP18 Local | Chapter 2 | Required inputs and generated outputs |
| Python codes | Chapter 6 | Definition, inputs and outputs, all marked TBD |
| Eqasim | Chapter 6 | Definition, inputs and outputs, all marked TBD |
| MILES | Chapter 6 | Inputs and outputs |
| UDM (Urban Development Model) | Chapter 13 | Everything. The acronym appears once in the handbook with no description |
| Building Development Model | Chapter 13 | Marked TBD in the case study figure |
| Activity plans assignment | Chapter 13 | Marked TBD in the case study figure |
Case studies planned but not written
| Case study | Would be the first to |
|---|---|
| Dover to Folkestone line | Exercise the rail side of the framework |
| GB and freight | Work at national scale, and address goods rather than passengers |
The Greater Manchester case study is also incomplete: its workflow diagram is absent, and no transport modelling is described beyond the heat hazard.
Standing instructions in the handbook
Three chapters close with an explicit instruction that they are expected to grow:
Any other transport demand dataset or tool used or developed in DARe must be included as the one above.
The same appears for transport supply and transport models.
Methodological gaps acknowledged in the source
| Gap | Chapter |
|---|---|
| No empirical estimates of journey cancellation costs exist | EC2 |
| No widely accepted method for valuing social inequity | EC10 |
| Assumed demand reduction for soft measures has no cited evidence base | Soft measures |
| MATRA does not generate network conditions endogenously | MATRA |
| Only the "Explain" stage of the resilience framework is described | GLM Resilience Model |
References and documentation outstanding
| Item | Chapter |
|---|---|
| A CityCAT-specific technical reference | Hazard models |
| A MATRA-specific publication or repository, if intended for public use | Transport model |
| External documentation for adaptation measures | Adaptation measures |
| External documentation for social behavioural impacts | Social behavioural impacts |
| Resolution of the numeric citations in the performance metrics chapter | Performance metrics |
This page should be replaced, not extended
The list above is a byproduct of converting the handbook, not a research agenda.
When the project writes its own Future work section, that content should replace this page. What is here in the meantime is a record of what the handbook itself leaves open.
