The model structure, shown in Figure 1.1, is documented in the model design report, Model Design Plan for BMC Activity-Based Model (Cambridge Systematics, Inc., 2013). Figure 1.1 Activity Based Model Design Cambridge Systematics, Inc. 1 BMC InSITE Activity Based Model Estimation The report is organized as follows. This chapter presents an overview of InSITE and a discussion of how logsums are generated for the upper level choice models in InSITE. The sections of Chapter 2 document the model estimation results for the individual components of the activity based model. 1.2 Logsums for Upper Level Choice Models This section details the development of logsums used for the upper level choice models of the BMC activity-based model. Overview For each model, different sets of logsums are used. In general, there are three types of logsums. The first two are workplace and school location logsums. These are based on the chosen workplace and school locations for workers and children and are across a single origin and destination pair. The other type is accessibility logsums, which are zone based accessibility measures across all destination zones. For each worker in a household, the logsum between home and work zones is the workplace logsum, and for each child in a household, the logsum between home and school zones is the school location logsum. In this case, the logsums are taken across different modal options. The two types of logsums are identical in concept, the only difference being which
