Model Development with Cube Base
January 26
A one-day course that teaches you how to
develop a model using Cube Base’s graphical user
environment. In this course, you will use
Application Manager to define model processes
with a visual flow chart, and Scenario Manager to
manage data associated with different forecast
alternatives. Class exercises will use “process
templates” that supply predefined modeling
operations without requiring in-depth scripting.
Attendees will learn:
- How to manipulate networks, text format
data, and matrices using Cube program
modules
- 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
Prerequisites: None
Travel Demand Forecasting with Cube Voyager
January 27
A one-day course that introduces you to using
the Cube Voyager scripting language to
automate common data-manipulation and
travel-demand modeling tasks. This course is
designed for model developers interested in
learning about Cube scripting fundamentals and
for those new to travel demand modeling and
forecasting.
Attendees will learn:
- 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 four-step travel
demand forecasting model in Cube Voyager,
including trip generation, trip distribution,
mode choice, and assignment
Prerequisites: None
Using Cube for Transit Project Planning and New Starts Analysis
January 28-30
The focus of this special 3-day class will be to develop hands-on experience, theoretical understanding as well as “best practice” knowledge as they relate to transit forecasting and New Starts projects.
Attendees will learn:
- PT’s modeling logic and capabilities.
- Coding sophisticated public transit systems using the Network window and the new GIS window.
- Coding complex transit fare systems and speed capabilities.
- Transit network access development including walk, transfer, park & ride, kiss & ride.
- PT’s transit path building methodologies including PT’s best-path and multi-path functionality in detail.
- Using XCHOICE to develop nested logit models capable of producing Summit data files, and techniques for mode choice calibration.
- Basic assignment features as well as more advanced elements including select link and station-to-station matrix extractions and reporting
- Good practice in transit forecasting with PT that is consistent with current FTA guidance.
Prerequisites: Model Development with Cube Base and Travel Demand Forecasting with Cube Voyager, or equivalent experience.
