#' Health-Oriented Transportation (HOT) Model
#'
#'

#' HOT is a statistical model that makes projections about
#' attributable health risks from (in)active travel data. Based on
#' population and travel scenarios, the model has been used to
#' calculate the health impacts of walking and bicycling short
#' distances usually traveled by car or driving low-emission
#' automobiles.  Please Cite: Younkin, S. (2019).
#'
#' The model uses comparative risk assessment through which it
#' formulates a change in the disease burden, resulting from the shift
#' in the exposure distribution from a baseline scenario to an
#' alternative scenario.
#'
#' HOT characterizes exposure distributions in several ways:
#'
#' -- Physical Activity --
#' Described as quintiles of a log-normal distribution on the basis of
#' the mean weekly active transport time per person, its standard
#' deviation and coefficient of variation (the standard deviation
#' divided by the mean), mean weekly non-transport physical activity,
#' and the ratio between bicycling and walking times. The activity
#' times were multiplied by weights to give metabolic-equivalent task
#' hours (METS), which reflect energy expenditures for walking and
#' cycling at average speeds and for performing occupational tasks.
#'
#' Descriptive statistics were obtained from published research on
#' walking and bicycling speeds and analysis of travel and health
#' surveys with large probability samples for the Bay Area.
