Beyond the Boundary: New Insights from Inside the Space-Time Prism - Space-Time Integration in Geography and GIScience - page 203

reveals the need and feasibility to incorporate the mobility-related costs along with
the benefit to move towards a sustainable development paradigm.
The next steps in this research agenda are completing the theoretical construction
of the prisms' interior, validating its effectiveness in practical applications using
simulated and/or monitored data (e.g. estimating the theoretical carbon dioxide
emission for a prism and compare it with the data collected from devices installed on
vehicles), and then promoting its use to real-world projects by developing toolkits
for planning and policy evaluation. Followed this, we can continue our research
by adding more conditions to the theoretical framework of the space-time prism
(e.g. limits on the linear and angular accelerations), investigate the changes on
the boundary and internal structure of the prism, and explore and validate other
applications accordingly.
