Abstract:

Rigid activity schedules and pressure of time can strongly influence the determination of a meeting place and time. When several uncertain determinants need to be taken into account, joint activity planning becomes a complex issue. In this respect, a cross-pollination of Hägerstrand’s time geography and Pawlak’s rough set theory yields a fruitful foundation for analyzing multiple agents’ travel spaces under uncertainty. This paper reports on an attempt to analyze the effects of uncertain spatiotemporal settings on the determination of interaction spaces. The aim is to provide a better understanding of the uncertainty component of constraints to support agents pointing out a feasible meeting place while respecting individuals’ fixed activity programs. The concept of rough space–time prisms and their effect on current space–time accessibility measures is presented. The paper focuses on three types of uncertainty: temporal, spatial, and speed.
