CUBE Cargo Add-on

CUBE Land Add-on

A land-use modeling software, CUBE Land has a library of programs for modeling land use. You can easily integrate with any transportation model to predict land-use changes given modifications to the transportation system.

CUBE Land leverages an econometric land-use allocation model to bring realistic land-transport interactions into the modeling process. As the transport system changes, the levels of congestion and accessibility change, impacting the value and development of land.

CUBE Land forecasts land use by simulating the real estate market under different economic conditions, as well as considering complex aspects like land use externalities. For a user-defined scenario, CUBE Land forecasts the supply, location and rents by zone for different types of properties. It also estimates the location of households and non-residential activities for different agent groups.

• Integrates with other CUBE solutions
  Uses the most commonly available data for preparing scenarios and provides travel model inputs and easy data sharing within a familiar interface.
• Improved equilibrium convergence
  Provides greater accuracy, easier calibration, and explicit interaction between consumers, suppliers, and groups of agents (households and firms).
• High program flexibility
  Flexibility for treating the effect of transport on land use as well as flexibility in data input definitions, such as zoning detail, drivers, and market segmentation.

CUBE is a prerequisite for CUBE Land Add-on.

CUBE Cargo Add-on

A freight modeling software, CUBE Cargo has a library of programs for modeling freight demand throughout a city or at a regional and long-distance scale, to understand or predict the impact of commodity flows.

CUBE Cargo offers freight-specific capabilities to represent multiple commodity groups, logistical nodes where transport mode or vehicle may change, a module to model touring vehicles, and a module for local service vehicles.

• Logistics nodes model
  Partitions the long-haul matrices by mode and commodity class into direct flows and transport chain flows.
• Fine distribution model
  Redistributes from coarse zones to fine zones for each of the matrices.
• Vehicle model
  Converts the estimated annual commodity flows by truck into the number of heavy trucks and light trucks.

CUBE is a prerequisite for CUBE Cargo.
