Project Meeting 2021.09.23

Agenda

• Admin
  • AMPO Data and Tools Roadshow session went well; 40+ participants
    • We'll follow-up with a few interested agencies
    • Urbansim has a nice UI and the manta DTA package is interesting
  • Joe working on the AMPO conference session
    • Thinking of having each interested agency co-present a couple slides on their project
  • On Monday another MPO will join the project
  • Partners only discussion after this to finalize phase 7 scoping
• SANDAG pull request and review, #484
  • Clint reviewed the PR and has several suggestions; overall looks good
  • Validation notebook looks great
  • RSG to work on the little stuff - the documentation, some clean-up, etc.
  • Things to continue to discuss - the tour OD choice model, the fact that it only works for 2 and 3 zone systems, and revisions to tour mode choice to be able to call trip mode choice
  • Tour OD choice model could be useful for internal/external models, airport models, visitor models
  • Lots of discussion around should the tour OD choice model need to work for 1, 2, and 3 zone systems before getting accepted into the code
  • Does consortium fund taking this new feature over the finish line or is it the requirement of the project?
  • How much coordination is required when writing the RFP for the new feature between the agency and the consortium?
  • Is multizone system compatibility a requirement? How about estimation mode?
  • Can we just clearly note this submodel only works for 2 and 3 zone systems for now?
  • We don't want to hold this PR for too long or it becomes a real pain to integrate it later once more differences exist
  • We would need a legitimate 1 zone example for testing tour od choice. Who wants to build and maintain that?
  • @Bench to summarize PR options for discussion with consortium
  • I'll share the tour OD choice model in more detail on Tuesday
  • Jeff Newman share Airspeed velocity on Tuesday as well
