Project Meeting 2017.03.23 - bellevuewa/BKRCast GitHub Wiki

Employment

  • ESD still considering request

Sampling plan

  • Nagendra shared our in-progress analysis of different zone-based sampling plans
  • Have run 8 scenarios with 10 seeds each
  • Current results across different metrics suggest a BKR 400%, outside BKR 40% sampling plan
  • This ~70% of total regional HHs plan is close to the optimal compromise between stability and runtime
  • Note skims and shadow prices are held constant across tests
  • Will make a few more runs to better understand results
  • Then will turn to analyzing destination choice sampling size plans and then feedback

Documentation

  • RSG continues to complete / clean-up the wiki documentation
  • @Nagendra has some additional revisions to make over the next week or so

SoundCast improvements

  • Since BKRCast was created, PSRC has improved the external model, airport model, JBLM estimates, and changed the way they seed skims and do shadow pricing
  • We won't integrate any of these changes right now since we want to do calibration first and these improvements won't impact BKR all that much anyway
  • BKR may do later with PSRC help

Calibration

  • @Nagendra to commit, document in wiki, and share with @Hu the calibration summaries scripts
  • @Hu to run them on the in-house ESD-based model and share summaries with RSG

Project Management

  • ~1/3 of project budget remains
