Project Meeting 2021.06.03

Admin

• Joe finalizing scope with each bench contractor
• Hopes to get Phase 6b executed by 6/11

Phase 6a

• Working on tidying up for the v1 release:
  • Update docs and notebooks for improvements
    • Work from home and telecommute frequency submodels
    • Transit pass ownership and pass subsidy submodels
    • Autocalculation of chunking (#406)
      • Jeff Newman proposed a more systematic approach to benchmarking for Phase 6b that would be good to implement for future work such as this
    • Improved checkpointing of tables (#405)
      • This is a useful feature and something that could have been improved in DaySim
      • Agencies likely to just use an ActivitySim example as a starting point rather than directly translate their CT-RAMP or DaySim setup
    • Smarter logging when no alternative found (#404)
  • Additional items for release
    • Update to conda forge for environment setup? (#424)
      • Jeff Newman to work on after this release; for now it seems to work well enough as is
      • Will make ActivitySim a conda forge repo, which will simplify install
    • Fix full scale example downloads for skims*.omx issue (#421)
    • Other little stuff, (#414), (#425)
  • Soon merge all to develop
  • Need to update the transit pass model google doc
• SEMCOG team working on implementing the full scale new submodels
• Next week Wu share SANDAG's 1, 2, and 3 zone system testing progress
