- Telecommuting Update - Software changes
- Telecommuting Update - software changes
- Review of existing model design
- Work from Home
- Work Location - only runs for workers not working exclusively from home
- Telecommute frequency - simulates number of days a worker telecommutes
- CDAP - simulates day pattern of worker. Frequent telecommuters are less likely to have mandatory pattern (out of home work tour); only mandatory pattern will have out of home work tour
- Very little behavioral difference in model between telecommuters working from home on travel day and non-workers on travel day
- But they do have behavioral differences
- Ideally have three groups: Commuters; telecommuters; not working
- Proposed changes
- Revise the CDAP configuration
- Mandatory pattern = working on the day, regardless of working from home or working outside the home
- Non-mandatory pattern or home pattern = not working on the day
- Simulate whether telecommuters are telecommuting that day based on telecommuting frequency information
- If telecommuting, overwrite the work location to be home location; make sure subsequent tour generation is correctly anchored
- There is concern that its changing definition of tour and may trigger, for example, running mode choice model for a non-travel tour; Concern that it introduces non-intuitive representation of behavior
- Question about whether there is even a simpler solution
- Revise the CDAP configuration
- Implications
- Run time and memory usage
- Will increase choosers in mandatory tour scheduling model; increase will be moderate since with explicit chunking the burden should be alleviated
- SANDAG model result
- Would do light calibration
- Positive: Allows for modelers to explicitly identify telecommuters and tweak behavioral representation
- Run time and memory usage
- Next Steps
- Implement software changes
- Run model
- See how far off model is compared to existing SANDAG model to inform calibration
- Suggested next meeting: January 14th (Tuesday after TRB)
- Review of existing model design
