Abstract

The DRAM residential model was one of the earliest to be developed and applied, with work beginning in 1971 and with applications in planning agencies continuing to this day. It was developed with the expectation that it would be applied together with an employment model (EMPAL), and with both being linked to a suite of transportation models. This chapter describes the development path of DRAM as well as those of related issues of model calibration and links to other models. The author concludes with the argument that while continued theory development is essential for models such as these, their use as forecasting and policy analysis tools depends as much upon ease of implementation for agency users as it does on any improvement in model formulation.
