Multiple Models Management System

Goal

To develop a system for ensuring cooperative management of a shared AB modeling software platform, ActivitySim. See also Phase 5 Task 2 scope for more detail.

Idea

A contribution (i.e. pull request) to ActivitySim runs registered models against the code to ensure revisions are desired:

• registered models in the core repository

  • Tm1_example
  • Tm1_estimation_mode
  • Tm1_multiple_zone
  • Etc.

• registered models in partner repositories

  • ARC
  • SEMCOG
  • SANDAG Cross Border
  • Etc.

All must pass their test(s) before acceptance of the contribution (i.e. the pull request is merged and an update released).

Notes

• Inclusion in the system is part of consortium membership.
• This is similar to the DaySim test system and maintenance plan.
• The details, including a scope for developing the system, setting up a maintenance plan, etc. need to be worked out.
