12. Employee-Patronage Data

13. The Process  2012 InfoGroup US Businesses File (5.80 GB)  30 CSV files with 500,000 entries (~200MB) – Shell Script  30 CSV files with patronage generation and data cleaning and mapping (~115MB) – R Script  1570 Segmented State Files (1KB to 20MB) – R Script  51 Merged State Files (8MB to 390MB) – Python Script

14. Patronage Generation  Previous Process – Manual Fine-Tuning  Inconsistent: Same NAICS Code, Different Patronage/Employee Ratio  Current Process – Employee Size Range, Sales Volume Range  Not Perfect Data  Matching businesses (Zip, County, NAICS, Latt/Long)  Same Employee Size Range  Assumption: Sales Volume same across time  Trying to acquire the 2005 Data for better correlations  Ratios from Averaging Previous EP file

15. Comparison: Distributions

16. Conclusion: Need to use NAICS Codes, in addition A large number of 0-1 ratio values are offset by the 7-20. Therefore, we get a surge averages of around 4-5. Difficult to capture nuances with just employee size and sales volume. Next Steps: Man-Power needed to assign ratio for each NAICS Code, Sales Volume, Employee Size combination

21. Census Data

22. Inputs  2010 Census Summary File 1  http://www2.census.gov/census_2010/04-Summary_File_1/ http://www2.census.gov/census_2010/04-Summary_File_1/  Does not convert to CSV/TXT; Files made for MS Access  Process Tables (P12, P16, P29, H13, P43) with Talal’s VBA macro in MS Access (p.78)  VBA Code – whereabouts unknown, perhaps with Prof K  2012 5-Year Census American Community Survey  http://www2.census.gov/acs2012_5yr/summaryfile/ http://www2.census.gov/acs2012_5yr/summaryfile/  Income Data to assign incomes to households and residents

23. Generation  Module 1 – Outputs resident file for each county in state  Rows: Individual People  Attributes/Columns: County Number (replace with State Number_County Number for national file), Household ID, Household Type, Latt/Long, ID Number, Age, Sex, Traveler Type, Income Bracket  Module 2 – Out of state/region/nation nodes  For commenting on code, go to p.17-19  http://www.princeton.edu/~alaink/Orf467F12/MuftiTripSynth esizer_v.1.pdf http://www.princeton.edu/~alaink/Orf467F12/MuftiTripSynth esizer_v.1.pdf

24. Further Steps

25. What To Do Next?  Patronage Generation with NAICS, Sales Volume, Employee Size and Research – Low Difficulty  I already generated a file mapping all NAICS and employment counts along with payrolls for patronage assignment using 2010 Census Data (200K entries)  Census Data Generation and Rework NN Generation Modules – High Difficulty  Optional: Data Verification for Employee-Patronage Files

26. Modules  Very hard-coded for NJ; not very well-commented  Initial National Implementation Ideas:  Treat US as one entity with external nodes at airports to represent foreigners  Problem: Computationally intensive for 330M people  Solution: Do a semi-randomized sample  Regionalize the US and use out-of-region external nodes  Less labor-intensive and parallel processing  Doing each state  Problem: Hard to generalize code, out-of-state nodes  Extremely labor-intensive

27. The Code: Thought Process  Trips generated state-by-state  Use state-level demographic information on residents  Ignore state-level boundaries since we have employer and attraction information for the nation.  Example:  John Smith lives in NYC and works in CT.  We will get his household from NYC Census file and the probability distribution of workplace in CT E-P file.  When we map NYC Trips, we will see John Smith going to CT for work. When we map CT Trips, we will see John Smith returning from work.  Trip destinations can be approximated using destination county centroids  Requires assigning centroid to each county

28. The Code: Thought Process  Workplace assignment (without replacement):  Census maps individuals to workplace  John Smith lives in NYC and works in CT  Use distribution to match workplace to E-P file (keep a count of employees to match the number given)  John Smith mapped to an employer in CT  If more than x (e.g. 250) miles, assume arrival at airport  School Assignment (without replacement):  Use bounds and distribution to match students with schools (assume same county)  Jane (8) is mapped to elementary school in her county

29. The Code: Thought Process  Tour Type assignment and Temporal Dimension  Can try to repurpose Talal’s code  Add in Time Zones in Temporal Dimension  Can do this with replacement (patrons)  Assumptions: Same behavior across states in terms of work time and leisure time and activity patterns  Out-of-Country Commuters / Non-Resident Workers  International nodes for the states along the Canadian and Mexican borders  Trip to the nearest border crossing
