Abstract In light of the renewed attention for time geography in the transport modelling field in recent years, this paper provides a timely state‐of‐the‐art review of the contributions of the time‐geographic approach to the closely related research areas of transport planning and accessibility analysis. Specific attention will be devoted to the ways in which recent advances in time geography have deepened the understanding of human activities and travel possibilities in space and time. From…

What about Time-Geography in the post-Covid-19 era?
TLDR
Challenges that emerge for time-geographic research from the perspective of massive changes in human behaviour, regarding time-space activity patterns, caused by the globally diffusing disease are addressed.
Analysing spatial accessibility patterns with travel time and distance measures: novel approaches for rural and urban contexts
Accessibility plays a key role in shaping the patterns of human activity on all spatial scales. Accessibility questions are particularly topical now that cities around the world strive for more…
A spatial data model for urban spatial–temporal accessibility analysis
TLDR
A velocity model is developed for a traffic network and walking surface-constrained travel environment through the divide-and-conquer principle and is demonstrated the usefulness of the model for studying the space–time accessibility of a moving object over a study area with varying spatial structures.
Typologies of tourists’ time–space consumption: a new approach using GPS data and GIS tools
TLDR
The approach presented here attempts to shed light on the choices made and strategies implemented by tourists, within the constraints of time and space, by clustering tourists based on time–space allocation measures of their behavior.
Where were you? Development of a time-geographic approach for activity destination re-construction
Linking Time Geography and Activity Theory to Support the Activities of Mobile Information Seekers
TLDR
A methodology addressing the nature of these spatio-temporal activities that has the potential to contribute solutions to this problem is described, with a key element of this approach the awareness that both the planning and acting phases must be considered in supporting such activities.

Integrating people and place: A density-based measure for assessing accessibility to opportunities
TLDR
The goal here is to understand the magnitude and nature of the opportunities a mobile object had access to, given known location points and a time budget for its movement.

'THE CHOREOGRAPHY OF EXISTENCE: COMMENTS ON HAGERSTRAND'S TIME-GEOGRAPHY AND ITS USEFULNESS
The need for human geography to turn inward with respect to the definition of research problems and the use of conceptual structures is pointed to, and it is suggested that Hagerstrand's…
Rethinking Time Geography in the Information Age
TLDR
A novel conceptual framework for time geography is proposed, whereby people's space–time behavior is modeled not just in a three-dimensional space but in a multidimensional space, and can naturally accommodate activity in cyberspace as well as in physical space.
A three-dimensional network-based space–time prism
TLDR
An innovative approach to ameliorate the realism and applicability of space-time prisms by developing new three-dimensional space–time objects is provided.
