Getting started: setting up the model to work in a new context - swise5/SETOSim GitHub Wiki

Setting up

installing relevant tools (IDEs like Eclipse; applications like GitHub Desktop or QGIS; package managers like Anaconda)

OPTIONAL:

any paths or variables set (eg $JAVA_PATH) added to the GitHub repository as a contributor

Data preparation

Data required

Currently: 4 layers of data

  • Water
  • Buildings
  • Roads (weighting attribute, eg “HIERARCHY” defines what kind of road it is)
  • Shelters (entrance data)

The CRS: untrustworthy

NEVER TRUST THE CRS. It must be in METERS, not DEGREES. Check manually, and reset within QGIS.

doNotTrustCRS You can try to reset it, but it might not work. Seriously don’t trust it.

For Canberra, the proj file looks like this:

GEOCCS["GDA2020",DATUM["Geocentric_Datum_of_Australia_2020",SPHEROID["GRS 1980",6378137,298.257222101,AUTHORITY["EPSG","7019"]],AUTHORITY["EPSG","1168"]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0,AUTHORITY["EPSG","8901"]],UNIT["metre",1,AUTHORITY["EPSG","9001"]],AXIS["Geocentric X",OTHER],AXIS["Geocentric Y",OTHER],AXIS["Geocentric Z",NORTH],AUTHORITY["EPSG","7842"]]

Synthetic population generation

For a full description, please see here. For planning purposes, however, the following data will be required:

  • Roads OR Buildings (with highway tag OR fid field, respectively)
  • Number of individuals + households
  • Age + sex demographics (optional)
  • Family structure for households (optional)
