A chapter in Residential Location Choice, 2010, pp 165-180 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter provides a description of the residential location component of UrbanSim, drawing on applications of UrbanSim in numerous metropolitan areas. The first section provides an overview of the UrbanSim system, with particular attention to the role of the residential location choice model within it. The second section describes the Open Platform for Urban Simulation, and explains how choice models in general, and more specifically residential location choice models, are created in this framework. The third section provides a comparison of recent applications of the UrbanSim residential location choice framework, along with lessons learned. The final section summarizes the current status of the model system and outlines current development efforts.
