Technical Advisory Committee Novemeber 5, 2014

Today’s Agenda 2014-15 Work Update Future year pop/emp data Discussion of draft 2015-16 work plan Other business

Work Plan (Scheduled)

GTAModel V4.0 All core modules programmed Working on fixing ‘broken-looped’ transit lines in the network Waiting on the completion of new network for further validation Currently organizing the work for a new population synthesis procedure

Documentation Detailed documentation of ‘TMG.Estimation’ has been added to XTMF’s documentation V4.0 Model Design document has been updated with all of the latest changes to the model system A user guide will be produced in during the SmartTrack with complete workflow information

XTMF Core XTMF 1.1 All unit tests pass Able to load, edit, and save projects and model systems Able to run model systems Loads projects in parallel to enhance performance XTMF.Gui 1.1 Able to Load, and edit model systems Able to load projects, and edit contained model systems Almost able to run model systems Unable to save, or add modules to a list All source code is available at https://github.com/TravelModellingGroup/XTMF

XTMF Core

Ongoing V4 development & Testing Additional validation modules in development Validate population synthesis in depth

Transit Assignment Tasks Congested Transit Assignment is operating well We might recalibrate parameters once the loops have been fixed

Road Networks & Assignment A preliminary tool for multiclass road assignment has been developed Currently being used for testing freight and HOV research models

Freight Modelling 2001 calibrated model running in XTMF Working with Roorda to improve the model

Active Transportation Nothing concrete yet Students are still working on this

Future Year Base Networks Using the SmartTrack project as a proving ground for future year network combining Lessons learned, and possibly code, will be later used for developing the full system

TMG Toolbox Improvements Now distributed together with XTMF Retrofitted GTAModel V2, and V2.5 with parallel transit assignment Improved the names/namespaces of tools to properly match their file names Created batch files to automatically generate toolboxes from source code Also can build a consolidated toolbox All source is available at https://github.com/TravelModellingGroup/TMGToolbox

Outreach & Training Python Workshop Setup IBI, HDR, and PB with XTMF HDR used XTMF to calibrate Durham Region Model IBI is using XTMF to run Durham Region Model PB is considering using XTMF for future work

Future Year Pop/Emp Data Building a repository of shared data Removing the barriers to sharing Discuss
