Citilabs Services

Services

Citilabs can assist with any aspect of the implementation, calibration, and application of our software products. Citilabs can help you set up a system, providing assistance with both planning and IT needs. Citilabs can also help you use the products as part of transportation and traffic studies.

Citilabs specializes in short-term, as-needed consulting to assist you. Examples of our services include:

Model conversion: Citilabs can convert your modeling and simulation systems to Cube from Citilabs’ legacy products (Tranplan, TRIPS, and TP+), from independent executables (programmed in languages like Fortran, C, C++, and Java), or from other products. Citilabs can provide rapid and accurate translation of existing models to efficient applications of Cube Voyager scripts. Citilabs can also move your model from batch operation to the Cube Base working environment.

Public transport conversion: Citilabs can move existing public transport networks and modeling processes to the Cube Voyager PT environment from legacy products (TRIPS, TP+, Tranplan) or competitor systems.

Implementation of Cube Voyager’s junction constrained assignment: Citilabs can help you migrate to junction-constrained assignment. Innovative and effective, Cube Voyager’s junction-constrained assignment process improves your assignment model’s ability to evaluate corridor and sub-area-level policy and infrastructure alternatives. Citilabs can help you create a database of intersection infrastructure, prepare the data for use in Cube Voyager, and calibrate the assignment models.

Reducing model run times using Cube Cluster: Citilabs can help you configure your existing model for optimal use with Cube Cluster, leading to significant performance improvements when running your modeling and simulation system across multiple processors and personal computers.

Model audits: Citilabs can examine and improve your transportation models written in the Cube Voyager or TP+ scripting languages. By incorporating best-practice approaches and optimizing your scripts, Citilabs can improve your run times and help you create effective, efficient, and robust models.

Activity models: Citilabs can develop full activity models within the native Cube Voyager scripting language. Citilabs can work with you to implement this state-of-the-art approach for your agency.

Traffic microsimulation: Citilabs can support studies using Citilabs Cube Dynasim multimodal traffic microsimulation software. Citilabs can help you develop and calibrate microsimulations of public transit terminals, downtown traffic flows, suburban land-use change, freeway corridors, ramp and weaving sections, and any other transportation improvement or operation that you are considering.

Freight and commodity flow models: Citilabs can support studies implementing, calibrating, and applying Cube Cargo to estimate future-year commodity and truck flows, for both urban and long-distance scales. Region-wide simulation and evacuation planning and analysis: Citilabs can support studies using Cube Avenue, a highly efficient and effective mesoscopic dynamic assignment system. Citilabs can help you implement, calibrate, and apply this innovative product to analyze region-wide traffic flows, to study special-event traffic, and to prepare evacuation plans associated with hurricanes and terrorist events.

Customized reporting and analysis: Citilabs can help develop an effective reporting system by working with you to create reporting and charting templates that extract key differences from your model results. Well designed templates enable you to highlight impacts of changes to transportation policy and infrastructure.

On-site training: Citilabs can create customized on-site training courses in our products. Planning and modeling assistance: Citilabs can work as part of consulting teams to provide targeted expertise in the application and use of our software products.
