Hi! Happy TRB! What is everyone working on this week?

I am still shepherding the pr which speed up synthpop. We found a bug in synthpop, so I will be continuing to help the urbansim team to get it fixed. The bug is that in the default recipes IPU ignores some constraints. In the next weeks we are going to be building a household choice model, so I have a lot to catch up on. I plan to study by reading the urbansim/urbanchoice code and the code linked in choicemodels #1. I am open to other reading recommendations?

So what is everyone else planning for this week? If you're at TRB, what are you hoping to get out of it?

I am at TRB presenting on UrbanAccess, a new tool for GTFS transit and OSM pedestrian network accessibility analysis, in two presentations: 1) the methodology; and 2) a case study using the tool to assess accessibility by transit in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I should add that Sam won a young professionals in transportation award at the TRB Conference for his work on UrbanAccess. Kudos, Sam!
