Description
CUBE.6 Program Basics
• This course is designed for those interested in learning more about Cube Base’s graphical user environment and integrated geographic information system (GIS).
- We will use:
• Cube Base:
• GIS Window
• Data Manager
• Application Manager
• Scenario Manager
- Attendees will learn:
• How to add, link, and sequence programs to create reusable applications
• How to create nested application groups and define process flow logic controls
• How to create model catalogs and set up scenario-specific application parameters
• Basic syntax and structure of Cube Voyager script commands
• Best practices and techniques for editing Cube Voyager scripts
• How to automate common network, matrix, and other data manipulation tasks
• How to build a standard model in Cube Voyager, with specific focus to the modules NETWORK, MATRIX, HIGHWAY, FRATAR
Cube consists of:
- Cube Base
• Data Manager: organize data
• Application Manager: flow-chart style tool for building model systems
• Scenario Manager: tool for applying the model to multiple scenarios
• Cube GIS: editing of all data in text, tabular and graphical form
- Functional Libraries or Modules:
• VOYAGER (Passenger Forecasting)
• AVENUE (Dynamic and Mesoscopic Simulation)
• DYNASIM (Dynamic and Microscopic Simulation)
• ANALYST (Matrix Estimation)
• CARGO (Freight Forecasting)
• LAND (Land Use)
The typical model development workflow
- Gather and code data
• Transportation networks: roadway centerlines, intersection definitions, public transit routes
• Define TAZ boundaries and summarize demographic and economic factors (households and employment) by zone
- Define model functions
• Obtain travel behavior inventory or survey data
• Specify, estimate and calibrate mathematical relationships using statistical tools & methods
- Link data and processes with interface
• Lay out application groups and programs
• Sequence steps and link common data files
• Create catalog; run, review, revise as needed
