R4 · Public realm and whole journey

Whole journey through the public realm.

What happens after the vehicle stops?

Research release BTC-RESEARCH-2026-10-17.1 · Prepared 17 October 2026 · Project applicability unresolved

Proposed decision guidance for architects and the customers who commission their projects. Site experiments remain unexecuted.

All twelve decisions ↗

The architect’s task.

Follow the journey to the agreed destination, including crossings, alighting, the entrance and any assistance.

The commissioning customer’s responsibility.

Define whose journeys count, what completion means, and how people who cannot use the service continue.

RESEARCH FINDING

What the evidence supports.

Selected surveys, prototypes and service plans inform the journey. An inclusive comparison of completed journeys remains absent.

The connection from a study to this decision is an analyst interpretation. Study conditions, methods, funding and limitations are available in the approved research library.

COUNTEREVIDENCE & DISCONFIRMATION

What could change the decision.

A service gains apparent speed or independence by excluding intended people, or leaves a required destination task unresolved.

This is a contrary case to test. The linked claim cards distinguish observed contrary findings from proposed project tests.

REMAINING QUESTIONS

What the project still needs to establish.

  • Complete journeys with intended users and devices; independent completion and assistance choices; interruption and alternative-service outcomes.

Before making the commitment

Representative complete-journey and interruption evidence with actual users/devices, conditions and accepted outcomes.

A relevant clause may depend on jurisdiction, service type, funding, adopted edition and the work being proposed. A research finding does not establish legal applicability.

The approved library shows examined provisions and analyst connections separately from standards records that have only been screened as candidates.

The Workplace Mobility and Occupier Experience line extends this question across the commute, client trips, entry and return. It provides a dated desk synthesis and proposed studies; field completion remains unestablished.
