Workspaces for Transport

Mike's Notes

This is where I will keep detailed working notes on creating Workspaces for Transport. Eventually, these will become permanent, better-written documentation stored elsewhere. Hopefully, someone will come up with a better name than this working title.

This replaces the coverage in Industry Workspace written on 13/10/2025.

Testing

The current online mockup is version 2 and will be updated frequently. If you are helping with testing, please remember to delete your browser cache so you see the daily changes. Eventually, a live demo version will be available for field trials.

Shipping Variables

Note that this simulation did not use realistic min, max, mean and std deviation for these calculations. The model itself was the result and will undergo further work and testing using industry data to refine it.
