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.
