Enhancing Travel Modeling Platform for Multiple Organizations
This project focuses on developing a consolidated travel modeling software platform for multiple Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) to reduce maintenance costs. The aim is to combine existing models into a unified trunk that can be easily customized by each MPO partner while providing a robust calibration platform. Key aspects include software architecture leveraging UrbanSim in Python, agile development, and a deployment approach for a consolidated software package.

AMPORF Common Modeling Platform Consolidated Travel Model Software Platform Development & Enhancement Guy Rousseau Atlanta Regional Commission 2014 AMPO Annual Conference
The Partners The Original 3 Partners: Atlanta Regional Commission Metropolitan Transportation Commission San Diego Association of Governments The Additional 2 Partners: Puget Sound Regional Council San Francisco County Transportation Authority
Goals & Objectives Reduce the overall costs of maintenance & development of innovative new model components associated with isolated model implementations. Each MPO Partner currently uses a Coordinated Travel and Regional Activity Model Platform (CT-RAMP) Activity-Based Model (ABM). Combine the current CT-RAMP (programmed in Java) code branches developed for each MPO Partner into a consolidated trunk for use by each organization. The MPO Partners are only required to customize parameter and input files specific to their region. The consolidated code trunk will provide a robust platform to calibrate the model for each region. No changes to compiled libraries required to calibrate a model for a specified region.
History of Project ARC, MTC & SANDAG approached AMPO for project management in Summer of 2013 AMPO s Rich Denbow is Project Manager RFP released in September 2013 3 proposals were received The 3 Original Partners met at MTC for proposals reviews and consultants interviews Synthicity was selected (www.synthicity.com) Synthicity s Paul Waddell is Project Lead Project Kick-Off Meeting in February 2014
