4.1 MASTER MODEL DIRECTORY

The master model directory is called “NERPMAB1”. All files related to the model can be found within this directory. The following sub-directories are particularly important:

  • Applications – This folder contains all the Cube Voyager scripts and applications
  • Doc – Documents related to the model are here
  • Input_SWM – All inputs related to the State Wide Model (SWM) are inside this folder. Recall that a sub-area is extracted from SWM to derive port freight trips.
  • Output_SWM – this folder contains the outputs from the sub-area extraction process.
  • Parameters – a set of inputs files including the input highway network can be found in this folder..
  • User.prg – this folder contains other user programs that are not a part of the Cube framework. Currently R scripts that are used to create calibration targets for demand model from NHTS live here. In addition, there are also utilities that are used to create various inputs for DaySim activity-based model.
