#Task 1 Project Management

• @Bill - PSRC waiting for the revised contract for next year from you
• @Wu discuss status of SANDAG contract to prototype support for multiple zone systems
• @Elizabeth to discuss her review plan and will post her review a to new wiki page by Thanksgiving

Usability

• can I follow documentation to download, set up, and run?
• can I change the specification easily?
• is hardware setup straightforward?

Accessibility

• legibility / transparency: how easy is it to understand what is going on under the hood and how to use it?
• configurability/localization: how easy would it be for me to use it at my agency?
• extensibility: if my model needs are slightly different, how easy is it for me to change/add to it?
• how easy is it to set up hardware?

Completedness
[ less of a focus – more guidance about how we should evaluate it ]

• Does it do what it says it does?

#Task 10 Full Model Run

• Fixed #93 Remove NA alternatives before calculating probabilities
• Fixed #94 exit when no alternatives available
• Fixed #124 tour_mode_choice incorrectly assigns coefficients
• Changed utility coefficients in school_location, work_location, and mandatory_scheduling expression files to prevent no-alternatives-available errors (for which we created issues #121 and #122) These workarounds set utilities to -100 instead of -999 to prevent errors from being thrown so we can continue to run the tests and the model.
• can now comment out or set false to disable variability check now, check_for_variability: False
• @Billy - accept pull request for openmatrix fix from Jeff to work with the latest version of pytables #123
• @Ben - still need to document new CDAP #120
• @Jeff - looking into issue #117
