enhancement steps were based on subjective parameters they account for a small
portion of the total dataset, and there is room for improvement on these.
It is tempting to think that field-based surveys such as the WCTFS will be
superseded by GPS enabled methodologies, theoretically capable of ensuring
complete space-time coherency in individual movement, and unobtrusive to the
respondent. Indeed non-obtrusive-non-consensual tracking has its proponents and
a very different augmentation research agenda. Even now however the WCTFS
could not rely on consistent coverage, nor on adequate smartphone usage, nor on
the funding for respondent equipment at a large scale, and realities such as these
are likely to persist for a while yet in many domains.
