A chapter in Residential Location Choice, 2010, pp 209-222 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The focus of this chapter is on the residential choice component in the Albatross and Ramblas model systems. Both models are primarily activity-based models of transport demand. Their prime goal is to predict activity–travel patterns and associated traffic flows. The distribution of residential land use, in terms of households and persons, is exogenously given. Most progress to date in terms of actual software development has been completed in the context of Ramblas. It contains a module for modelling residential choice behaviour that is used to predict the choice of residential zone for people moving house and newcomers in the housing market. Simultaneously, the properties of the dwelling stock are updated. Residential preferences measured in theNational Housing Survey are matched against vacant dwellings in the market. These preferences are measured using a compositional stated preference approach, but alternatively any conjoint preference approach could be used in principle.
