Task 6 Model Developer Tutorial (milestone)

  • Ran all tutorials again to make sure everything works with the latest code and made a few updates for the upcoming PR to ActivitySim develop

Task 10 Support for Three Zone Systems and TVPB (milestone)

  • The new get TVPB logsum methods in tour mode choice now computes logsums on demand for interaction_sample_simulate, which means it returns expressions like tvpb_logsum_odt['DTW'] + tvpb_logsum_dot['WTD'] in work/school location choice for drive transit logsums
  • There is no caching/pre-computing at this time so runtimes are really slow
  • Working on getting the calculations and math correct and then will circle back to performance/pre-computing strategy
  • Discussed the need for a more complete example test data setup for exercising the functionality
  • @Ben check with @Jeff about using the SANDAG test data
