  • 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).
