The primary ActivitySim example model.
The prototype_mtc example is based on (but has evolved away from) the
Bay Area Metro Travel Model One,
also known as "TM1". TM1 has its roots in a wide array of analytical approaches,
including discrete choice forms (multinomial and nested logit models), activity
duration models, time-use models, models of individual micro-simulation with
constraints, entropy-maximization models, etc. These tools are combined in the
model design to realistically represent travel behavior, adequately replicate
observed activity-travel patterns, and ensure model sensitivity to infrastructure
and policies. The model is implemented in a micro-simulation framework. Microsimulation
methods capture aggregate outcomes through the representation of the behavior of
individual decision-makers.
