events start after 86400

[SohYeeLee]

Hi again,

May I confirm the way Episim handles these situations:

1. The time for actstart for a person is > 86400.
   It seems that Episim forces the end of day to be 86400. So, this person will still be added to the container, but maybe no infection will happen to him?

2. There is no corresponding actend after actstart. e.g.,
   
   Will this person be teleported back to home at end of the day?
   The current addSpentTime in EpisimPerson cannot calculate the spent time for the last event at 13938.

Thank you in advance again.

Hello,

1. Contacts between persons are still evaluated (on actend), even if it is greater 86400. Infection time will be rounded to 86400, though.
2. Yes, people with unclosed trajectories are put into their first container at the end of the day (usually home). In your example the person performs leisure for the rest of the day. The spentTime should also be updated under this assumption, but I may have to look at it again.

Hi rakow,

Thanks for the prompt reply. Here I write my observations that could be useful for others after running some experiments:

1. The jointTimeInContainer will always take a cutoff at 86400. Example:

• person A enters FacilityA (actstart) at 80000, leaves at 88000 (actend). The duration in FacilityA = 6400
• person B enters FacilityA at 88000, leaves at 90000. Duration = 0
• person C enters FacilityA at 89000, leaves at 91000. Duration = 0
  The jointTimeinContainer between person B and person C in Facility A= 0.

2. Because of characteristics in 1, some SpentTime in EpisimPerson is = 0 for actstart that is after 86400

Thanks again!
