December 2024 — SANDAG/ABM: Delivered targeted enhancements to improve model fidelity, data quality, and batch reliability. Key features delivered include updating the work distance coefficient and bike mode share to reflect updated network conditions, aligning bike lane field names to ABBikeLn and BABikeLn for accurate data processing, and cleaning up data outputs by removing unnecessary skim columns and standardizing skim formatting. Major reliability improvements include a robust batch MAAS run handler that terminates the entire run gracefully on MAAS failures with environment restoration. A bug fix improved escort_participants handling across preprocessing and visualization by enforcing string typing, correcting missing-value handling, and preserving existing values when data is missing. These efforts collectively enhance travel-demand accuracy, reduce downstream data issues, and improve end-to-end run reliability and visibility into modeling work.
