Sunil Kumar and Eulalie Lucas MOVES Task Force Meeting MWCOG August 18, 2009 Development of Inputs, Outputs, and Procedures for EPA’s Draft MOVES2009 Model

2 MOVES Model – Introduction  MOVES - Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator  MOVES - a complete emissions estimation package. Produces total emissions.  Mobile6.2 - only emissions factors, which were processed outside the model to calculate total emissions.  MOVES –Extensive set of input files produces emissions at three (3) different levels: National, County/Regional and Project  MOVES – Input files: “Importers,” Revised processes from Mobile6.2, Totally new features.

3 MOVES Local Data Needs  Required Local Datasets 1.Fuel Characteristics 2.Meteorology 3.I/M Program 4.Age Distribution (Registration data) 5.Population of MOVES Vehicle Types (for each county or region in a calendar year) 6.Total Base Year VMT for HPMS Vehicle Types (for each county or region in a calendar year) 7.VMT Fraction across MOVES Road Types for each MOVES Vehicle Types

4 Required Local Data Sets: Status 1. Fuel Characteristics  Local data available. Appropriate fuel formulation can be identified from the list provided with the MOVES model. 2. Meteorology  Local data available. Needs minimal formatting for MOVES application. 3. I/M Program  Local data available. Needs minimal formatting for MOVES application. 4. Age Distribution (Registration data)  Local data available.  Two options for MOVES application  A. Use EPA tool to convert existing age distribution data available by Mobile6 vehicle types (1-25 years old) into MOVES vehicle types (0-30 years old).  B. Develop age distribution data by MOVES vehicle types (0-30 years old).

6 Annual VMT by HPMS Vehicle Types (MOVES Allocation) Motorcycle Passenger Car Other 2 axle-4 tire vehicles Bus Single Unit Trucks Combination Trucks 6. Annual VMT Development of annual VMT: use NEI method or HPMS approach?

7 7. VMT Fraction: Local data  VMT fraction - input data format for Mob6 & MOVES are very different  Mob6 & COG/DTP VMT fractions:  Distributed across 16 Mob6 vehicle types – 1 set each for Network, Local roads, and Auto access to transit facilities (Total 3 sets of VMT fractions) (DTP VMT fraction = Mob6 VMT fraction modified with local truck fraction)  MOVES VMT fractions:  Distributed across 4 MOVES road types (Urban/rural – restricted/unrestricted) 1 set each for 13 individual MOVES vehicle types (Total 13 sets of VMT fractions)  Development of MOVES VMT fractions:  Use NEI method ?  HPMS approach?

8 Summary : Needs & Status of Local Data MOVES InputsStatus of Local Data Fuel CharacteristicsLocal data available. Appropriate fuel formulation can be identified from the list provided with the MOVES model. I/M ProgramsLocal data available. Needs formatting for MOVES. Meteorology DataLocal data available. Age DistributionMobile6 based local data conversion to MOVES format possible. Direct local data development in MOVES format preferred by EPA. Vehicle Type Population Vehicle population data available by Mob6 vehicle types can be converted to MOVES types using EPA provided conversion formula (EPA formula based on national level data). Vehicle Type VMTLocal data available by FHWA facility types. Need annual VMT by HPMS vehicle types. Needs to be developed (using NEI assumption ?). VMT FractionVMT fractions across FHWA facility types available. Need VMT fraction across MOVES road types for each MOVES vehicle types. Needs to be developed (using NEI assumptions ?). Ramp Fraction**Local data available. Speed Distribution**Local data not available. ** Optional inputs
