Tour Mode Choice Coefficients

[danielsclint]

Using the ARC Mode Choice UEC as guide, fill in all of the tour mode choice coefficients into the tour_mode_choice_coeff.csv table.

Only focus on variables in the Excel UEC that start with 'c_'. Some may require formulas in lieu of straight numerical values. You can use the MTC Travel Model 1 tour_mode_choice_coeff.csv as a guide as well for formatting.

The table will look something like this....

Expression	Work	Univeristy	School	NonMandatory	AtWork
c_ivt	-0.0247	-0.0247	-0.0064	-0.02142	-0.02142
c_ovt	0	-0.0457	-0.0127	-0.05432	-0.05432
...	....	....	...	...	...

@danielsclint: I have a question. Some of the values are the result of multiplying a previous cell by a constant. Do I translate like that with the formula on the spreadsheet or do I use the value? For example, c_firstWaitShort in work is =E$15*2 which evaluates to -0.0494

I kept the formulas. I checked in the updated file under a new branch, mode_choice_coeffs

[danielsclint]

Good catch, I would advocate for keeping the formulas. In the current check I only see the values. For example, in the work column I would put:

c_knrTime = c_ivt * 2.5

This keeps the reminder of the ratio for future editing and calibration.

Also, for the _hh_income stuff on lines 16-20... move that to the annotate_hh.csv.

I checked in the updated version

@danielsclint I took the reindexing out and used the households.hincp field instead to define the different income brackets. I also moved these to the annotate_households.csv file. But now it can't find those definitions by the time in gets to reading the mode choice coefficients.... Still looking into it but I thought the annotate_households happens before the coefficients and normally it should see these definitions...

I have checked my progress so far on the tour_mode_choice.csv file. Per your recommendation, I have added comments to the ones that will need further investigation.
