Project Meeting 2017.01.26 - bellevuewa/BKRCast GitHub Wiki

Model run problem

  • On @Hu's machine, the Python scripts can't find other scripts in the current working directory
  • This use to work for him and still works for Nagendra and PSRC
  • @RSG to update the scripts by appending the current working directory to all scripts so it works

Networks

  • Bellevue updated the networks but can't test them since the model run is broken (above)
  • @Bellevue will test once model run works and then send to RSG
  • @Bellevue will attach highway and transit counts as well

Time-of-day

  • @RSG to change AM time period to 6 to 9 and PM from 3:30 to 6:30
  • @RSG to make sure this is done correctly everywhere - transit, truck, supplemental, link capacities, skims, etc.

Documentation

  • GitHub wiki site coming along and conversion to Word docx using pandoc looks good
  • Still a couple days of work to do
  • @RSG add Daysim data dictionary specifics for BKR
  • @RSG integrate the content from Mark's recent memo of inputs

Employment

  • LEHD/LODES-based data is our alternative to the ESD-based data
  • PSRC can create the Daysim parcel input file with either - the format is the same
  • Maybe RSG uses LEHD and BKR uses ESD?
  • @ESD - we are still waiting on their decision about RSG getting access to their data

Calibration

  • We compared PSRC's latest results to BKR's and the survey
  • There are no major differences and results generally look pretty good
  • Remember, BKRCast is using the latest SoundCast calibration coefficients
  • BKRCast has 15% more trips
  • PSRC's model run is with ESD data; BKR uses LEHD
  • BKRCast is partially calibrated at this point
