Project Meeting 2020.07.24

Task 1 Project Management (milestone)

• Revised the structure of this wiki based on Alex's comments
  • I made a couple updates based on the meeting comments so it is now ready for review
  • Keep Governance page as is for now and review/revise when we setup the website
• Phase 6a scope being processed by AMPO
• Updating docs for #325
  • Planning to finish next week for team review
  • Will focus on documentation for multi zone systems after that, while Jeff works on code
• SEMCOG team (Joel and others) invited for a later meeting
• Meeting being moved to Thursdays at 9 am
• Concern that the Phase 5b scope is behind schedule
  • Let's keep the pressure on for end of August
  • It may slip a bit, but we can work into September and will make sure to incorporate feedback from the team
  • Next week let's inventory the Phase 5b work for completion

Task 2 Strategic Planning (milestone)

• Draft strategic development and contribution plan here for review and discussion
• Team review next week and let's plan to discuss on next call

Task 3 Two Zones (milestone)

• Need to work on documentation

Task 10 Support for Three Zone Systems and TVPB (milestone)

• No work this week, but still a lot to get done
• We discussed how to develop a more useful example for testing
  • The current idea looks something like:
  • Run example_mtc (tm1) activitysim up to tour mode choice
  • Then assign tours from TM1 TAZs to TM2 TAZs and MAZs
  • Then read the TM2 network LOS data (skims and other files)
  • Then revise the tour mode choice expression file (first only for transit and then maybe other modes depending on LOE) and create the needed TVPB expression files
  • Then restart at tour mode choice
  • The compare utilities, results and performance (with an understanding that utilities and results will be different but hopefully similar enough)
  • This seems better than using SANDAG since the population and network LOS between TM1 TAZs and TM2 TAZs and MAZs should be similar
  • We're going to noodle on this idea some more and discuss / draft a plan next week
