A special two-day course that teaches you how to use Cube Voyager's Public Transport (PT) program and incorporate it in a transit model. This course will give you hands-on experience, theoretical understanding, and “best practice” knowledge for transit forecasting.

Students will learn:
• PT’s modeling logic and capabilities.
• Coding sophisticated public transit systems using Cube Graphics and the Cube GIS window.
• Coding complex transit fare systems and speed capabilities.
• Transit network access development, including walk, transfer, park & ride, and kiss & ride.
• PT’s transit-path-building methodologies, including PT’s best-path and multi-path functionality.
• Using XCHOICE to develop nested logit models, and techniques for mode-choice calibration.
• Basic assignment features and more advanced features such as select-link and station-to-station matrix extractions and reporting
• Good practices in transit forecasting consistent with current agency guidance.
