Content to be supplied

The handbook's Tools section for this component lists Required input data and Generated output data as headings with nothing under them. No tool is named and no datasets are specified.

The page below records what can be established from Figure 2. It will be replaced when the source text arrives.

What Figure 2 shows

In the components diagram, the Social Behavioural Impacts block contains a single element, labelled weather impacts on trip decisions.

Its connections are clear even though its internals are not:

InputThe weather event, arriving from the climate and hazard modelling chain
OutputFeeds Activity Plans assignment, inside the Transport Demand block

In other words, the component sits between the hazard and the travel demand, and its effect is applied when activity plans are assigned rather than after the simulation has run.

Still to be specified

What would slot in here

Once supplied, this page should describe how a weather or hazard condition is turned into a change in trip behaviour: which conditions trigger a response, how large the response is, and which trip purposes it applies to. That last point matters, since the handbook's own example, leisure trips during a heatwave, implies the response is purpose-dependent rather than uniform.
