In April 2025, Jflo enhanced the SANDAG/ABM repository by developing a new simulation configuration system centered around the abm3_settings.yaml file. Leveraging skills in configuration management and data modeling, Jflo defined simulation parameters such as modes of transport, policy settings, and distributed time factors using YAML. These parameters were integrated into config/common/constants.yaml, ensuring consistency and reproducibility across agent-based model runs. This work centralized and streamlined scenario configuration, enabling rapid experimentation and more accurate policy analysis. The depth of the solution lies in its extensibility and its ability to reduce manual parameter tuning, supporting diverse and repeatable simulation workflows.

April 2025 monthly summary: Delivered ABM3 Simulation Configuration improvements, introducing a new configuration file abm3_settings.yaml to define simulation parameters including modes of transport, policy settings, and distributed time factors, expanding configurability and modeling capabilities. Updated config/common/constants.yaml to include the new settings, enabling consistent experimentation and reproducibility across ABM runs. Overall, these changes enable rapid scenario testing, more accurate policy impact analysis, and reduced manual parameter tuning.
