Project Meeting 2021.04.22 - ActivitySim/activitysim GitHub Wiki

Task 1 Project Management (milestone)

  • Admin
    • IRFP coming soon
    • Joe and AMPO will tomorrow discuss setting up the GitHub resources and other admin topics
    • We'll plan to do both an AMPO annual conference and technical conference workshop if possible
    • For the annual conference, the focus will be more high level
    • Nothing ActivitySim related was submitted for TRB PA
  • Release
    • Pushed to master, next step post to pypi later today, and also release popsim update
    • Need to add number of zones to example_sandag
  • Future improvement
    • We should think about a better way to manage model specifications moving forward
    • This is outside the current scope, but as we build new submodels like transit pass ownership, we should figure out a good way to share / document / manage the model designs. Most work to date has been largely transferring existing designs/ideas
    • Including documentation of data needs, where data came from for estimation, model development process, final results of what developed, etc.
    • We're talking model documentation rather than user's guide (which is really more consistent with what we have today)
    • In essence, how to build an ABM from the beginning
    • I'll add an issue for this
  • Sandag update
    • Sandag has similar runtimes with experimental model as compared to existing model
    • We brainstormed several ideas for performance that I'll share via an issue

Task 2 Complete Estimation Mode (milestone)

  • See task 1

Task 3 Telecommute Model in Cooperation with SEMCOG (milestone)

Task 4 Transit Pass Ownership Model in Cooperation with SEMCOG (milestone)

  • Transit pass subsidy and pass ownership models coded
  • Need to create example treatments in mode choice next and create transit pass model design doc
  • Let's add a geography related use case, and student, youth, senior
  • Joe added some comments to the doc
