Project Meeting 2021.09.21 - ActivitySim/activitysim GitHub Wiki

Agenda

  • Discuss finalizing vehicle type model doc
    • Mark to finalize draft memo based on the discussion
    • Design may be adjusted based on the data analysis to be done
    • Include brief review of MAG and ARC work that informs the design
    • Discussed whether to include vehicle age or not; important for emissions
    • Also dropped main driver from model
    • Greg will get started on data analysis now and report back in a couple weeks
  • Discuss progress on coding the vehicle type model
    • Rough vehicle type model coming together in this PR and in the example_mtc example
    • Focused on vehicle type model for now; tour allocation to come later
    • Model will be optional
    • Will add a vehicle table to pipeline that is keyed off of HH ID and based on the auto ownership model results
    • A vehicle table is a core table in a HH survey so its ok to make it a core table in asim
    • We're going to add post vehicle type model annotators for HHs and vehicles to calculate additional variables based on the model results
    • Long term, we should make it easier to reference new tables in submodels
    • Can also reference the vehicles table in the tour mode choice pre-processor if needed
    • Make sure to add vehicle table without big issues for performance or memory
    • Max clean up rough draft so it runs and then wait to finalize once Mark and Greg report back
