Project Meeting 2020.07.30

Task 1 Project Management (milestone)

Any comments on the wiki revisions?
Pulled #325 to activitysim/develop
- Includes several updates for phase 5 work
- Please review when you get a chance
- We'll plan to release at the end of Phase 5; we can add a "feature still under development note" in the user guide for estimation mode for trip models
- Much of ActivitySim work will happen under different projects and timelines (i.e. concurrently) so its to be expected that some users will be using develop branch software and others will be using master/released software
Quick Phase 5 tasks update
- Task 1: Project Management - largely complete
- Task 2: Strategic Development and Contribution Plan - draft complete
- Task 3: Support for Two Zone Systems - largely complete, need to document
- Task 4: Input and Output Improvements - largely complete
- Task 5: Support for Modeling TNCs and For-Hire Vehicles - largely complete
- Task 6: Model Developer Tutorial - largely complete
- Task 7: Performance Tuning - funds reallocated to estimation mode (and maybe multiple zones) as needed
- Task 8: PopulationSim Integration - largely complete
- Task 9: Model Estimation Mode - largely complete
- Task 10: Support for Three Zone Systems and Transit Virtual Path Building - still a lot of work to do
Work order period of performance extended to Sept 30, but we're still pushing for Sept 1 so we stay focused

Any comments on the draft strategic development and contribution plan?
Please review by next week and we'll setup a call for August 20th 10am for additional discussion

DaySim style blending has been implemented; for now, other types of blending will need to be done in an inputs pre-processor
With #325 done, I'll now work on documentation for two zone systems

Jeff back from vacation and getting started again
- Basic support for calculating transit virtual path logsums is working; TVPB is all on-demand
- Plan to work of retaining the tvpb path choice (boarding tap + path skim set + alighting tap) information, including adding to the relevant pipeline tables such as tour, trip, etc.
- And then performance / caching for most of August
Continued discussion on how to develop a more useful example for testing; the current idea is to:
- Run travel model two
- Convert the outputs to the format required for input to activitysim tour mode choice
- Convert the travel model two skims to activitysim three zone format inputs as well
- This becomes the three zone system / TVPB test example - just tm2 tour mode choice
- This gives us the benefit of comparing results, runtimes, etc. with our activitysim tm1 example
- @Lisa agrees to help prepare the inputs
- @Jeff, Ben, Lisa to chat next week
