Project Meeting 2021.09.28

Agenda

Admin updates
- Joe working on the AMPO conference presentation with RSG/SEMCOG and WSP/ARC
- Joe working on scheduling next stage of scoping Phase 7
Progress on Airspeed velocity performance benchmarking improvements
- System is working and we now have examples for mtc and sandag
- Jeff wrote documentation for how to use as well
- RSG or WSP to review once ready
- 3 zone system uses caching so that speeds things up; maybe we can use for other purposes as well
- Jeff will add multithreading benchmarking as well
- It would be good to have our own benchmarking server for all testing for all parties involved to best control for differences
- Can we just use an Amazon could instance instead? Depends on cost, use, etc.
- Setup should integrate with the test system (like the DaySim test system with Azure Pipeline)
- Setup allows for profiling as well, which is handy
- PSRC example calls expensive adjacent_window_run_length expression twice, which is not needed
- Next steps, Newman finish up and then RSG/WSP review
Discuss tour OD choice model contribution from SANDAG pull request
- I shared the tour OD choice model slides
- An additional purpose of the exercise was to build confidence for migrating the core resident model to ActivitySim, which it did
- Additional reasons model developed was to test station choice and station mode choice policies
- Next steps, address comments and further discuss if needed
