Potential Model Modifications and Enhancements Sample Clauses

Potential Model Modifications and Enhancements. Considering the planning issues and goals of the FTP and the modeling capabilities needed to address those planning issues, Table 22 presents potential model enhancements of the FLSWM based on its current capabilities. To model the travel demand impacts of smart growth developments, trip reduction elasticities had been developed (Cervero, 2006) that can be multiplied by to trip production to reflect the number of trips reduced due to higher employment-to-household ratio of a TAZ (i.e., mixed-use developments encourage walking trips to replace auto for shopping or recreational trips within the same TAZ). Cervero (2006) documented several other approaches that can be used to model smart growth travel demand impacts. Evacuation demand modeling is a complex problem that involves a large amount of data and assumptions specific to the evacuation event (Xxxxxx-Xxxxx and Xxxxxxx, 2013). Trip generation, distribution, and mode choices for evacuation demand modeling are based on assumptions and modeling processes that are different from typical passenger travel demand modeling. Dynamic traffic assignment and/or traffic simulation, instead of static user equilibrium assignment commonly used for travel demand modeling, are used to load the evacuee origin-destination matrix onto the model network (Xxxxxx-Xxxxx and Xxxxxxx, 2013). Typical travel demand model elements that can support evacuation demand modeling are the TAZs and the model network with their built-in population data and link attributes. Because the TAZs and model network of FLSWM cover the entire U.S. for the purpose of freight flow modeling, extraction of specific TAZs and a model network pertinent to the evacuation event may need to be performed before proceeding with evacuation modeling. Carrying a large number of excessive TAZs and network links can significantly reduce the processing speed for the model. The model network may also need to be augmented with additional data required by a dynamic traffic assignment algorithm and/or traffic simulation. The emergence of ACES mobility options also points to the need for an activity-based approach that is able to capture the shifts in travel preferences and choices by demographic segments and reflect the impacts on trip generation, mode choice, trip lengths, and land use in the long run.

Related to Potential Model Modifications and Enhancements

  • INTEGRATIONS & MODIFICATIONS This Agreement constitutes the whole agreement between the parties. Except as identified in this Agreement, there are no other prior written agreements and no prior or contemporaneous oral agreements that are a part of this Agreement. No modification to this Agreement shall be valid, unless in writing and executed by both parties.

  • Enhancement Budget Enhancements refer to additional functionality and deliverables unknown to the Authorized User at the time of Mini-Bid release. An Authorized User is permitted to include an enhancement budget, as included in the Mini-Bid (up to 10%). The total cost of the project including the enhancement budget shall not exceed the Lot threshold from which the award was made. An Authorized User shall use Appendix F, Attachment 3, Enhancement Request Template to reflect such modifications. Mini-Bid/Statement of Work documents will define specific criteria and method of reimbursement for the enhancement budget. Written approval of the Enhancement Budget Request is required from both the Authorized User and the Contractor.

  • Cost Modifications The parties may agree to a reduction in the cost of the Contract at any time during which the Contract is in effect. Without intending to impose a limitation on the nature of the reduction, the reduction may be to hourly, staffing or unit costs, the total cost of the Contract or the reduction may take such other form as the State deems to be necessary or appropriate.

  • TYPES OF CONTRACT MODIFICATIONS In order to expedite processing of a contract modification, where proposed changes involve more than one category below, each change should be submitted to OGS as a separate request.

  • Contract Modifications It is understood that changes are inherent in operations of the type covered by this contract. The number of changes, the scope of those changes, and the impact they have on the progress of the original operations cannot be defined at this time. The PURCHASER is notified that changes are anticipated and that there will be no compensation made to the PURCHASER directly related to the number of changes made. Each change will be evaluated for extension of contract time and increase or decrease in compensation based on its own merit. STATE reserves the right to make, at any time during the contract, such modifications as are necessary or desirable; provided such modifications shall not change the character of the operations to be done nor increase the cost, unless such operations or cost increase is approved in writing by PURCHASER. Any modifications so made shall not invalidate this contract nor release PURCHASER of obligations under the performance bond. PURCHASER agrees to do the modified operations as if it had been a part of the original contract. If any change under this section causes an increase or decrease in the PURCHASER's cost of, or the time required for the performance of any part of the operations, the PURCHASER must submit a written statement setting forth the nature and specific extent of the claim. Such claim shall include all time and cost impacts against the contract and be submitted as soon as possible, but no later than 30 days after receipt of any written notice of modification of the contract. If the PURCHASER discovers site conditions which differ materially from what was represented in the contract or from conditions that would normally be expected to exist and be inherent to the activities defined in the contract, the PURCHASER shall notify the STATE's Authorized Representative immediately and before the area has been disturbed. The STATE's Authorized Representative will investigate the area and make a determination as to whether or not the conditions differ materially from either the conditions stated in the contract or those which could reasonably be expected in execution of this particular contract. If it is determined that a differing site condition exists, any compensation or credit will be determined based on an analysis by STATE's Authorized Representative. If the PURCHASER does not concur with the decision of the STATE's Authorized Representative and/or believes that it is entitled to additional compensation, the PURCHASER may proceed to file a claim. Claims Review Process. All PURCHASER claims shall be referred to the STATE's Authorized Representative for review.

Unless the claim is made in accordance with these time requirements, it shall be waived. All claims shall be submitted in writing and shall include a detailed, factual statement of the basis of the claim, pertinent dates, contract provisions which support or allow the claim, reference to or copies of any documents which support the claim, the exact dollar value of the claim, and specific time extension requested for the claim. If the claim involves operations to be completed by subcontractors, the PURCHASER will analyze and evaluate the merits of the subcontractor's claim. PURCHASER shall forward the subcontractor's claim and PURCHASER's evaluation of such claim to STATE's Authorized Representative. The STATE's Authorized Representative will not consider direct claims from subcontractors, suppliers, manufacturers, or others not a party to this contract. The decision of the STATE shall be final and binding unless the PURCHASER requests mediation.

  • Budget Modifications The total Approved Budget and the assignment of costs may be adjusted based on implementation of the Scope of Work, spending patterns, and unexpended funds, but only by an amendment to the Approved Budget. In no event shall an amendment to the Approved Budget result in payments in excess of the aggregate amount specified in Section 2.01 “Award of Monies” or in approved supplemental funding for the Project, if any. The RECIPIENT may make transfers between or among lines within budget categories without prior written approval provided that:
