Scenario Analysis, Mapping, and Reporting with Cube
June 9-10
This course is intended for anyone interested in learning more about cube. The course material caters to the analysts who need to apply existing models and produce meaningful summary data, maps, and reports.

Attendees will learn:

• The best methods of setting up and running multiple model scenarios.
• How to inspect, analyze, and compare model output.
• How to create standardized maps, charts, and reports.

Prerequisites: None



Cube Base 5 for users of Cube Base 4.x
June 11
This course provides comprehensive, hands-on training in Cube Base 5. Cube 5 represents a major change in Cube, providing an integrated ArcGIS solution within Cube Base. In essence Cube Base 5 provides a merging of Citilabs’ transportation and modeling GIS tools with ArcGIS. This provides an extremely powerful analysis system. One key element is the use of the ESRI geodatabase for the storage and sharing of model network data with the complete GIS team. This course will focus on the changes implemented from Cube 4.x to Cube 5.

Software used: Cube Base 5.0

The course will cover:


• Importing and exporting data to Cube Base 5.0
• Using the geodatabase for networks in Cube Base 5.0
• Highway network development and editing in Cube Base 5.0
• Public transport network development and editing in Cube Base 5.0
• Graphics and mapping with Cube Base 5.0

Prerequisites: Scenario Analysis, Mapping, and Reporting with Cube or equivalent experience. Good familiarity with Cube Base 4.1 or earlier.



Design, Manage, and Deliver! Cube Reports
June 12
This course is intended for anyone interested in using Cube Reports to easily create tables, charts and cross tabulations of input and output data from models and simulations. Cube Reports is designed to create high quality charts and tables of single or multiple scenarios in order to ease the analysis of the model results and to convey the results to decision makers and the general public.

Software used: Cube Base, Cube Reports

The course will cover:


• Building presentation quality chart and table graphics including: Pie and bar charts
• Histograms, Line graphs and scatter plots, Tables and cross-tabulations
• Automatically generating reports from existing scenario runs
• Development of standard reports via templates
• Accessing and formatting data into dynamic information
• Building end-user interactivity into reports
• Maintaining reports directly with the associated data
• Integrating reports easily and efficiently

Prerequisites: Introduction to Application Development or equivalent experience.

Distributing Models across Multiple Processors with Cube Cluster
June 13
This course teaches users how to use Cube Cluster commands within their Cube Voyager script files to distribute model processes across available computing resources to improve model run time performance. Cube Cluster enables the user to run and control their travel models across multiple computer processors whether contained within one computer or multiple PCs. Cube Cluster is currently used to allocate matrix-based processes (mode choice, mode-destination choice, matrix manipulations) and highway assignment breaking out zone-based calculations across the processors and bringing the results back on the master PC forming unified datasets and reports. It can equally be used to control the running of multiple steps across processors.

Software used: Cube Base, Cube Voyager, Cube Cluster

The course will cover:

• Concepts behind Cube Cluster
• Developing a strategy for 'clusterizing' your model
• Implementation of Cube Cluster scripting commands
• Optimization of Cube Cluster

Prerequisites: Intermediate Application Development with Cube Voyager or equivalent experience. Good familiarity with the Cube Scripting language and of matrix and highway assignment concepts

Intermediate Application Development with Cube Voyager
June 16-17
This intermediate course is intended for model developers who would like to more fully understand and develop travel forecasting models using Cube Voyager.

Attendees will learn:

• How the Cube Voyager modules and scripting language are used together to fully develop a traditional travel demand model including standard mode choice and public transport modeling.
• How the Cube Voyager modules can be applied to develop complex applications for automating standard analysis.
• How user programs and macros can be integrated into an application.
• How to properly document an application and prepare a user interface and standard reports for end users.

Prerequisites: Introduction to Application Development or equivalent experience.
