ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: Time lifting hypothesizes the development of a unique and integrated basis for handling static and dynamic GI concepts by the definition of homomorphisms, or more properly functors, between static and dynamic domains. This paper studies time lifting for the convex spaces’ topological relationships introduced by Space Syntax theory. This theory illustrates human settlements and societies as a strongly connected space-time relational system between convex spaces. This topological structure is represented as a connectivity graph with some morphologic properties that describe how space and time are overcome. Space Syntax theory introduces more dynamic activities at the local scale. Then the specific problem of the paper is computational modelling of the integrated static and dynamic analyses for an activity based scenario at local scale and the study of how effective these activities overcome space and time. The model is implemented using a functional programming language and validated by being executed for a simple simulated urban bus transportation system. In addition, the paper sets up questions about the computational complexity of mixed usage of static and dynamic data.
