Project Meeting 2017.07.06

Calibration

• Transit boardings are better with the ESD employment
• Highway screenlines still look pretty good
• Bellevue (and Seattle) downtown peak assignment volumes still low
• Tour lengths for soc/rec, escort, and work-based all adjusted a bit and look better
• School tour durations adjusted and look better
• Remaining issue is not enough travel in CBDs (see below)

CBD trips

• Bellevue and Seattle CBD travel remains a bit low
• Especially work-related
• @Will split out home-based from non-home-based and by time-of-day to better understand differences
• Work-based subtour generation model may need to adjusted to produce more trips in dense / CBD-type areas
• BKRCast CBD employment matches pretty well with the SoundCast CBD employment
• @We'll investigate some more and hopefully resolve by next call

Documentation / training

• @We'll add a page to the wiki that explains the calibration process:
  • the F12 files, the coefficient index descriptions, the calibration workbooks
  • how and what is adjusted, etc.
  • maybe @PSRC has some documentation on their calibration work to date?
• We'll pause the project after we address the CBD issue and the calibration wiki page and then collect questions from Bellevue ahead of a final workshop

Project management

• ~$5k or 6k of budget left, so we need to be careful with remaining work
• RSG suggests setting up a DaySim maintenance and support contract after the project ends; PSRC is working on setting one up
• @Stefan - any updates on improving walk trip lengths? And you may want to investigate CBD trip rates as well
• @Send out meeting invite for July 20th
