Scenario settings for Transportation Optimization options
The following table lists the field and accepted values used to set Transportation Optimization Options with scenario items. In addition, you can create a User Defined Table to set parameters whenever the model is run. See Using the Transportation Optimization configuration file for additional information.
Please note:
- All fields are found in the Transportation Optimization Options table.
- Specific accepted values are shown in quotes for identification; when entering the value in the scenario item definition, the quotes are not used.
