Project Meeting 2023.09.12 - ActivitySim/activitysim GitHub Wiki

Agenda

  • Data Type Update
  • Phase 8 Tasks by Percent Complete
  • CENIT (Barcelona) Ankara Meeting Attendance (8a Pacific, Tuesday Sept 12)

Meeting Notes

Data Type Update

  • Time period categoricals
    • Ordered numeric representation of time periods in the same way as the network_los.yaml
    • Skim values are now returning correctly
  • Mandatory Tour Scheduling with Sharrow
    • Still producing a large memory spike
    • WSP is still investigating and running tests. One potential test is to changing the ordering of tour scheduling to see how much of the spike is related to the timing of memory releasing.
  • Run time
    • Large reduction in run time by converting from strings to categoricals for ARC example.
  • Next Steps
    • Next check in in 2 weeks
