• 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).
