Abstract: Abstract The Oregon2 Model represents the spatial activity system in the State of Oregon in the United States. It uses a set of seven connected modules representing different components of the full system, each running in turn for each year of simulation. Two of the module concern elements of household behaviour. The Household Allocations Module provides an agent-based microsimulation of each household and each person, simulating the transitions and choices made by these agents over 1 year. The Land Development Module provides a representation of space development using 30mx30m grid cells covering the model area, microsimulating development transitions occurring in each cell over 1 year. It determines changes in developed space over time and in response to potential policy actions involving pricing, regulation and infrastructure in both transportation and land use. At the time of writing, the system is not yet complete in that much of the second and all of the third stages of calibration are still outstanding. But some preliminary conclusions about the design and development of the model system, and the treatment of households in particular, can still be offered.
