Model Configuration

Configuration for Production Run:
The production run of UrbanSim is configured with three development project types: ``residential'', ``commercial'', and ``industrial''. Thus, there are three instances of the model, each initialized with the particular project type and a GridcellDataset as location_set. Each of the models runs only if the Development Project Transition Model returns some projects for the project type, i.e. the output value for this particular project type is not None. The run() method of each of the model is called by passing the following arguments:

specification

- An EquationSpecification object created with data from table ``%s_development_location_choice_model_specification''.

coefficients

- A Coefficients object created with data from table ``%s_development_location_choice_model_coefficients''.

agent_set

- A DevelopmentProjectDataset returned by the Development Project Transition Model in its entry for this particular project type.

The ``%s'' in the above character strings are replaced by project type.
