There has been a major revival of interest in land-use/transport interaction modelling over recent years. A number of major reviews of available models have been published, generally concentrating on the designs of the commercially available model packages and of some of the academic model software. The objective of this paper is on the review process one stage further, looking more closely at a sub-model common to all land-use/transport models, than for residential location. It reviews the residential location sub-model used in a number of land-use/transport interaction models of widely differing complexity. The way in which the various models locate population and housing, the variables used to represent these quantities and the linkages between them are represented. In particular, the focus will be on the different approaches to calibration and implementation that have been adopted in a range of model packages.
