Cube Base
Details: GIS
All data can be edited within the GIS including:
Maps are created using Cube-specific transportation functions such as:
The GIS window displays the geographic information in a geodatabase as a map. The GIS window uses the ArcGIS application, ArcMap, to interpret geodatabase data and depict the corresponding map. The GIS window reads and writes to the geodatabase. Using the GIS window, you can edit geodatabase data, create maps, analyze data, and submit map-based queries. For example, you might use the GIS window to display and edit the geographic data in travel demand models, such as transportation networks and transportation analysis zones.
The GIS window represents geographic information as a collection of layers along with defined elements in a map. Common map elements include a scale bar, north arrow, title, descriptive text, and a symbol legend.
All data except for trip table and impedance data (matrices) may be stored in the geodatabase. The user may also store data in Citilabs’ formats such as *.net, *.lin, etc. By exploiting the geodatabase capability, data can be directly taken from any application using the ESRI geodatabase including ArcGIS. Equally, model results can be exploited directly within any application using the ESRI geodatabase including ArcGIS. It provides the perfect transportation modeling solution for agencies and consultants that use ESRI products for their GIS.

All data can be edited within the GIS including:
- roadway networks (length, number of lanes, road type..etc.)
- intersection data (signal timings, priorities, turn prohibitors, geometrics)
- public transit lines (route, stops, frequencies..)
- access connections to and from public transit stations and stops
- polyline and polygon boundaries and associated data (zone-based, demographic data, special generators...)
Maps are created using Cube-specific transportation functions such as:
- thematic mapping and figures (histograms, pie charts..)
- pathbuilding and skimming (show paths, isochrones..)
- bandwidths and dynamic displays (show volume by direction, congestion levels..)
- desire lines (show demand from point to point..)
- intersection displays (show turning flows, level of service...)
- public transit line information (route, boardings and alightings...)
- embedded media such as videos and photos
The GIS uses ESRI MXD files to store all settings. The user can directly use an MXD file in ArcGIS or in the GIS in Cube Base.
