ActivitySim import

When importing result data from ActivitySim, ActivitySim objects are assigned to the corresponding objects in Visum according to their key (number or code):

ActivitySim key

Visum object/attribute

zone_id

Location/number; additionally zone/number if TAZ is not defined in ActivitySim.

TAZ

Zone/Number

household_id

Household/Number

home_zone_id

Residence/Location number

person_id

Person/Number

school_zone_id, workplace_zone_id

Person/Long term choice

tour_id

Tour/Number

trip_id

Trip/Number

origin, destination

Location/Number

The stop areas (TAP) are not assigned to Visum objects, but are stored as trip attributes. In Visum, the relevant geographic objects are locations, even if the ActivitySim model has only one geographic layer. This means that activities are performed exclusively at locations. If the Visum model has only zones, one location is added per zone.

Note: The Import ActivitySim output data procedure is identical to the import described above.
