35 In contrast to sketch planning models, microsimulation discrete choice models are based on comprehensive behavioral theories of decision making represented in more or less complex systems of mathematical equations. Microsimulation discrete choice models tend to have much higher requirements for the model user to understand how each submodel is handling decision making in the model.

36 Integrated Transportation and Land Use Models is a small benefit in moving. Moving tends to be expensive, and relocating households need to reacquaint themselves with the new neighborhood, which is why households tend to avoid relocation if there is not a substantial increase in utility.

38 Integrated Transportation and Land Use Models model simple and not adding all the detailed features that the model offers initially resulted in some minor conflict with the model developer who was interested in providing the most powerful model possible. At the same time, the agency's demographers asked for sufficient detail to ensure that UrbanSim would predict demographic change at least as well as previous methods.

Microsimulation Discrete Choice Land Use Models 41 were run, including adjustments to capital investment, bus service, highway expansions, better local street connectivity, zoning, and capacities for redevelopment. No consultants are needed to run scenarios, and scenarios can be implemented and analyzed in house.

For example, no city was politically allowed to shrink in population or lose employment over 30 years, and k-factors ensured that this would never happen in the model -- accordingly, this practice had to be implemented for small towns with less than a thousand households.
