Project Meeting 2021.11.04 - ActivitySim/activitysim GitHub Wiki

Agenda

• Discuss admin topics
  • IRFP almost ready; get final comments in by end of week
  • AMPO needs a headcount for a meeting room at TRB
  • AMPO checked on payments from partners
  • RSG to meet with Joe to discuss my transition off the project since I have accepted a new job
  • Thanks everyone for working together over the years!
• Discuss vehicle type model
  • Design options doc now includes a pros and cons table, some questions, and some application results that we discussed
  • Greg discussed the application results for option 4
  • Estimated options are here for review as well
  • What's nice about option 4 is it makes explanation of the relationships easier in practice since asserting tables and the relationships in the choice model is tough too
  • Preferred to make changes in the assumptions and let the model output the probabilities
  • When there's better data in the future, then re-estimating the option 4 design is desired
  • Still some concern about ease-of-use and fixing poorly understand relationships into the future
  • Option 2 and option 4 are still being considered
  • Team to continue discussion and select an approach soon
