Integrated land use and transportation models address the relationships between urban land use and transportation systems. Within the formal structure of these models is the recognition that land use influences the properties of transportation infrastructure and travel behavior which recursively affect spatial patterns of urban land use. This paper first provides a review of the historical development of links between integrated urban models and geographic information systems (GIS), followed by a discussion of the convergence of integrated urban modeling, activity based research and GIS with a specific focus on the role of GIS as a tool to improve the behavioral component of contemporary models. The paper then focuses on the advantages distributed to non-expert and expert users, and addresses the development environment in general terms along with user interaction with the working environment/interface. Consideration is also given to future directions that could capitalize on the extensibility and re-use properties of the software environment.
