Powerful new possibilities for traffic analyses

Cube Avenue offers transportation professionals an innovative tool for analyzing traffic. Cube Avenue is a mesoscopic model it models traffic at greater levels of detail than macroscopic models, like Cube Voyager’s Highway program, and at lesser levels of detail than microscopic models, like Cube Dynasim. With Cube Avenue, analysts can study problems for which traditional models don’t provide enough data and for which microscopic models provide too much data.

By explicitly modeling time, Cube Avenue offers the ideal environment for many studies, such as comparing policies for alleviating peak period congestion or examining the effectiveness of emergency evacuation plans. Indeed, pioneering transportation professionals can use Cube Avenue to meld planning with real-time operations, examining likely impacts of operational responses before implementation.

With Cube Avenue, you can:

Quantify impacts of upstream traffic congestion
Measure queuing at intersections and merge points in a network
Isolate secondary impacts from one intersection through another
Evaluate the benefits of ITS (intelligent transportation system) projects
Simulate alternative infrastructure, operational, and policy changes to optimize emergency evacuation plans and strategies
Test strategies to improve arrival and departure from stadiums and other special-event facilities

Cube Avenue is easy to use and works with traditional four-step transportation planning models or with any model type that uses highway assignment. You implement Cube Avenue with standard Cube Voyager commands and scripts.
