Project Meeting 2017.05.18

Documentation

• Shuming prepared a list of questions related to inputs/settings
• @RSG to update User's Guide in response to questions

Calibration Update

• Hu sensitivity tested terminal times and the current settings appear to be reasonable
• COB sent highway and transit counts to RSG
• Nagendra compared the highway and transit counts to the latest model runs and there appears to be a bug/issue
• All the highway screenline volumes are too high - 200-300% percent too high
• Otherwise results generally look ok except for a few noted issues:
  • Trip lengths are generally a bit too long
  • There are not enough trips to Bellevue downtown from places other than Bellevue and Kirkland
• Results outside BKR reflect the larger zone sizes
  • For example, trip lengths are even longer and transit boardings are low
• @RSG to investigate highway volumes issue. It seems likely due to an issue with building demand matrices by time-of-day or EMME network settings. Will share calibration/validation summaries once resolved.
