Abstract:

MOVES, the Motor Vehicle Emissions Simulator Model, is the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) state-of-the-art tool for estimating emissions from highway vehicles. This handbook is a resource for MOVES users who wish to develop their own local input data for State Implementation Plan (SIP) development, regional conformity analysis, project-level analysis, or any other purpose. The handbook provides information on alternative sources of local input data and the advantages and disadvantages of each. The handbook also provides sample datasets that users may use as a template for developing their own local data, or in some cases to represent local conditions if local data are not available. Finally, the handbook describes tools available to assist MOVES users in processing data to prepare MOVES inputs. The handbook was written for MOVES 2010b but remains applicable to MOVES2014. This handbook supplements other MOVES documentation, guidance, and tools provided by EPA. The handbook is presented in two volumes, addressing the use of MOVES at different domains/scales. Volume 1, available separately, provides resource material on developing inputs for a “regional” (county, multicounty, or state) level of application, using the County Domain/Scale of MOVES. This is the scale that must be used when doing State Implementation Plan or regional conformity analysis. The model replaces national “default” allocations for each input with user-supplied data for each county and year to be analyzed. This volume, Volume 2, provides resource material on developing inputs for a project level of analysis, using the Project Domain/Scale of MOVES. This scale allows the user to model the emission effects from a group of specific roadway links and/or a single off-network location.
