    • Partners working on getting Phase 7 scoped
  • SANDAG update on testing their 1, 2, and 3 zone system setups
    • SANDAG also considering using 1 zone and 2 zone model as a sketch planning tool
    • 2 zone system runtime is slower than 3 zone system?
    • Lots of great drill down analysis on runtimes being done by Enrique
    • The trip destination and mode models are slower for 2 zone
    • Sampling is slower, logsums similar, and utility evaluation is similar
    • 1 and 2 zone system setups use bigger TAZ-based skims that use lots more RAM
    • Next steps, Ben and Jeff Newman help investigate
