What kind of data will be necessary to run TRANSIMS?
It is still too early in the development of TRANSIMS to answer this question. The LANL project staff is beginning with a very large set of possible data needs, including those used by existing 4-step models as well as others not currently used. Sensitivity analysis and other techniques will be used to determine the most relevant and useful data. This rigorous screening process will no doubt result in a different list of data than currently used. However, at this time, it is not known what or how much data will be required. LANL is sensitive to the need for early notification of the data needs and will provide interim information as available.
