An operational integrated model for residential and employment location (IMREL) has been developed. The approach combines a normative residential location submodel with a predictive employment location submodel in order to capture interdependences between the spatial distribution of population and jobs and the transportation system. The behaviour of the residents is represented by a nested multinomial logit model of the joint choice of place of residence and mode of transport for the journey to work, regarding the place of work as given. The employment location is also based on a logit model, taking labour access into account, which in turn depends on residential location and transportation system characteristics. The IMREL model has been applied to the Stockholm region and the surrounding Malar Valley area, in impact studies of land use and traffic effects, and in conjunction with the evaluation of large-scale investment programmes in the road and public transport networks. The paper reports on some issues concerning development of the model framework, related to recent applications.
