Project Meeting 2016.11.03 - bellevuewa/BKRCast GitHub Wiki

##Employment

  • ESD ok with LODES-based employment
  • PSRC will do a new LODES-based employment model run next week
  • If it looks ok, then they will share the buffered parcels file with BKR and RSG
  • BKR will also help with the review of the data and model results to help QA/QC

##Model Updates

  • Four key updates
    • 4 time periods instead of 12
    • bike slope data added to bike network
    • population over/under sampling for BKR
    • latest version of DaySim, which is much faster; PSRC model runs went from 180min to 40min
  • All inputs and setup scripts have been committed to GitHub
  • Model doesn't quite run yet; UPDATE - we fixed the issue!
  • The issue was the HDF5SkimScaledAndCondensed setting was missing, which was added with the clean-up related to moving the PSRC specific functionality into a PSRC.DLL
  • @Ben - send PSRC's machine specs to BKR
  • Bellevue maybe buy a new machine with lots of threads so DaySim and EMME run faster

##Bellevue Running the Model

  • Hu download and ran the model
  • Model run took 17 hours
  • PM peak hour volumes looked ok even though employment is goofy
  • Hu corrected some things:
    • VDFs
    • network coding
    • network attributes like speeds and capacities
  • He will send us updated model input files when PSRC sends over the updated buffered parcels with LODES data
  • @Hu and @Stefan to discuss parcel/TAZ consistency issues

##Special generators

  • @Nagendra to update the inputs using the PSRC to BKR zone crosswalk and add to the model setup
