This is the open source release of the PARC-VTTI TRANSNET COPTER project.
COPTER (Collaborative Optimization and Planning for Transportation Energy Reduction) provides a personal window into the local transportation resources. It combines a micro-simulation model that quantifies energy use with personalized models to identify trip alternatives that maximize the expected citywide energy savings while maintaining personal level-of-service. These suggestions are pushed to individual travelers before they make their trip. If accepted, COPTER will then guide the traveler through the city's transportation network responding to unexpected events (e.g., accidents) and reporting to the user as well as the city the reductions in overall energy consumption.
The open source release includes the calibrated system model for the Los Angeles region. The primary expected use of this release is demand input files for the Los Angeles region. These demand files have been calibrated against observed data. The process of which is described in the following publications.

bin directory contains the INTEGRATION binary built on Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS.
data directory contains all of the files necessary to run the model
along with global demand files over the LA region for the peak
periods.
docs directory contains the INTEGRATION manuals.
The following command runs an example script for the AM peak simulation.
$ ./run_am_peak.sh
