Abstract:In 2007 the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) in cooperation with the Montgomery Area
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and Auburn University initiated a research project to explore
the potential of developing an integrated transportation/land use model framework for use in
transportation planning throughout the state. The Montgomery area was selected as the “test bed” of
those efforts as the Montgomery MPO had both a strong commitment to the success of the project and
much of the data required to undertake such an effort. Those efforts culminated in 2009 with the
development of rich geospatial datasets.
Following those efforts ALDOT decided to continue the research. In 2009 ALDOT initiated a second
phase research project with Auburn University to implement Cube Land as the land use model
component of an integrated transportation/land use model. The Montgomery case study serves as the
first time this particular land use model has been employed in the United States. However, a
predecessor of Cube Land has been successfully employed in Santiago Chile under the name MUSSA
(Martínez, 2007).
