This is a model that simulates choices made by people throughout their day - if and when they go to work, school, out to eat, shopping, etc. This is used to forecast the mobility effects of transportation investments.
This model is built in a mixture of Python 3 (ActivitySim) and Cube Voyager (Auxiliary Models, Skimming and Assignment). The main model batch file was built by WSP, and modified by RSG to remove TourCast and implement ActivitySim.
Currently in Development
Anaconda 3 64 bit is required to create the environment and run Activitysim. This model also requires a licensed copy of Cube Voyager 6.4, which must be purchased separately.
