Known Issues

The following known issues are anticipated be released in the upcoming February 15, 2023:

  • Adjustments to Sunday / Monday transition: Motionwoks processes Basecast on a weekly basis using UTC midnight as the cut. Given global timezones, this can lead to jagged results near the weekly cutoff.
  • Long Distance Trip Scaling Enhancements: Long distance trips are have a disproportionate impact on person miles traveled in some counties particularly in Alaska.
  • DMA Specific Issues:
    • DMA Bakersfield (CA), Eureka (CA), Palm Springs (CA), and Charlottesville (VA) have population but no one stayed home on some days
    • Chico-Redding, CA DMA has some days where 100% of the population went to work
