A number of issues we plan to resolve when SWIM is redesigned and re-issued as 3.0. This is planned to occur after the State of Oregon has a newly jointly estimated ActivitySim instance for the Oregon MPOs. After that point, all of SWIM would be planned to be converted to python (as practical), and the run setup greatly simplified (from the AO perspective). Here are some reminders for the types of issues that will be resolved at that time:

#11
#8
#7

• Move to a new base year. The current base year is 2010. Presently, Alex is running the model in parts, first till 2016 and then re-start from 2016.
• Clean up tsteps.csv
• Convert R scripts to python
• Clean up the global template properties file as there are a lot of unused parameters, those are mostly for PopulationSim. Ensure all the parameters are accounted for in the wiki documentation.
• Better crash management. Currently it is hard to restart the model from the point it crashed.
• Archive tlumip dependencies and start a fresh dependencies with no duplicate software, like one python, one R, and one Java.
