Project Meeting 2018.03.01

RSPM Migration

• @Brian working on congestion module as part of new VERoadPerformance package
  • Plan to deprecate VECommercialTravel and move functionality into VERoadPerformance
  • New package calculates DVMT by year, vehicle class, facility type, etc.
  • Then calculates congestion levels
  • Still need to calculate travel speeds and facility type allocation
  • Lots of inline code documentation already
• Will go back and finish VEEnergyAndEmissions once VERoadPerformance outputs VMTs and speeds
• After that, the next package is VECosts for calculating HH level costs like parking
• Probably done with VERSPM in about a month

RPAT Migration

• @Aditya should finish PolicyVMT translation tomorrow
• Next week start on PolicyCongestion, which should take about a week to translate
• The final module is performance metrics
• We decided to create a VEReports package that does the following:
  • Includes functions to produce the existing RPAT metrics
  • Eventually will make use of new framework functions to query the datastore using user specified queries
  • We'll translate the RPAT functionality for now and then look to generalize it with the next revision, which depends on schedule and budget
  • We may add functions to VEReports that makes querying easier, and which may be moved to the framework once proven
  • This package is going to evolve quite a bit as we start to work more on end user stuff
  • @Brian share example of CALL module

Repository Management

• Job #153.6 failed the test.R script test but Travis still passed? @Ben to investigate
