FSUTMS Comprehensive Modeling Workshop - Cambridge ...

The Advanced FSUTMS-Cube & Scripting Workshop is designed for the
FSUTMS/Tranplan modeler transitioning to FSUTMS/Cube-Voyager, as well as who
requires an overview on interpreting and creating Cube scripts under the Florida standards.
The first part of the workshop will cover procedures done differently in FSUTMS/Cube-
Voyager and the second part of the workshop will cover Cube scripting language elements,
resources, and data manipulation. Detailed descriptions of the standard FSUTMS menu
interface scripts will be discussed. A guest modeler with extensive Cube script writing
experience will be invited to help prepare and teach this workshop. It is recommended that
the FSUTMS Comprehensive Modeling Workshop serve as a prerequisite to this workshop
or extensive experience in FSUTMS/Tranplan. There will be two workshops lasting three
days.
The FSUTMS Transit Modeling Workshop is a three-day training course designed as a
beginning- to intermediate-level workshop for professionals with highway modeling
experience but little experience in transit. The course will cover in detail transit modeling
within FSUTMS-Cube, including transit network coding, micro-coding fixed guideway
stations, creating transit input files, transit access and path-building, Public Transport (PT)
module scripting, mode choice, transit assignment, interpreting and displaying transit
ridership results, and User Benefits. There will be two workshops lasting three days.
The FHWA Mining for Data Workshop provides a one-and-a-half-day hands-on training
using data from the Census Transportation Planning Products (CTPP) program, the
American Community Survey (ACS), and the National Household Travel Survey (NHTS).
Course topics include analyzing, troubleshooting, and presenting CTPP data; working with
statistical margins of error; and downloading information from the online tools American
Fact Finder, CTPP Access Tool, and NHTS Online. There will be one workshop lasting one
day.
Introduction to ArcGIS Using FSUTMS/Cube will teach the ArcGIS graphical interface of
Cube 5. This new version of Cube combines the usefulness of Cube/Viper's transportation
model display tools with the world standard in GIS software, ArcGIS. It is recommended that
the FSUTMS Comprehensive Modeling Workshop serve as a prerequisite to this workshop.
This workshop will be developed after Cube 5.0 has been released and distributed in
Florida.
