The FTOT 2022.3 public release includes updates related to the FTOT multimodal GIS network, Tableau and reporting enhancements, user experience (including video tutorials and supplemental tools), and resilience analysis tools. The following changes have been made:

  • Refreshes the default continental United States multimodal network accompanying FTOT for 2022. Key highlights include a more detailed road network, updated pipeline tariff data, and rail and waterway networks have also been updated. For capacity-constrained scenarios, continue to use the older (2019) version of the network.
  • Updates the Tableau workbook. The new workbook replaces the “Material Moved” graphs on the “By Commodity & Mode” dashboard with “Miles” graphs to show the miles of network used in the optimal solution. The workbook includes additional minor bug fixes and design enhancements.
  • Fixes processor available capacity and utilization reporting within text report. Processor conversion ratios are scaled correctly for capacity; scenarios with unconstrained capacity are now noted in output tables.
  • Clarifies reporting on total flow and vehicles. For the scenarios that use intermodal facilities, FTOT now (1) adds a “includes multimodal flows” note to the “total_flow” measure in the CSV report and (2) suppresses modal reporting on the “total_flow” metric to prevent misattributing flows to a particular mode.
  • Releases the “Installing FTOT” and “Running Your First Scenario” instruction videos as part of a new FTOT video tutorial series. Tutorial videos are posted to the FTOT landing page.
  • Updates the suite of supplementary FTOT tools run through ftot_tools.py. Users can run these tools to help set up their own FTOT scenario by (1) creating new scenario XML files and updating old ones, (2) creating batch files, (3) creating facility-commodity input CSV files, (4) replacing XML elements across all XML files in a directory.
  • Allows for either absolute file paths or relative file paths when specifying input CSV locations in the scenario XML. Relative paths should be expressed relative to the scenario XML file location.
  • Resolves bug associated with running FTOT on a Basic/Standard license of ArcGIS Pro.
  • Updates resilience tool repositories for link removal resilience testing and supply chain resilience.
