Mission

The mission of the ActivitySim project is to create and maintain advanced, open-source, activity-based travel behavior modeling software based on best software development practices.

The goal of the ActivitySim project is to improve activity-based modeling practice and to reduce the overall costs of activity-based model development and maintenance by developing a shared software platform, community, and knowledge base. The codebase is available at github.com/ActivitySim/. Through this RFQ, Zephyr is seeking qualified consultants to provide as-needed software development, feature implementation, and related technical work under task orders. Interested firms are invited to submit a Statement of Qualifications per the criteria in the RFQ.

Partners

The ActivitySim project is led by a consortium of Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), Departments of Transportation (DOTs), and other transportation planning agencies. The consortium provides technical direction and resources to support project development. All member agencies make an annual contribution of $35,000US to the effort and help to make decisions about development priorities. New member agencies are welcome to join the consortium. To learn more about joining the consortium, contact us.

ActivitySim Implementations

ActivitySim is already being put to work across the U.S. and around the world as a better way to model travel behavior, grouped into three examples below. And if you’re an ActivitySim user, we’d love to hear what you’re doing with it. Contact us!
