摘要: This document is the Final Report for NCHRP Project 25-38, Input Guidelines for Motor Vehicle Emissions Simulator Model (MOVES). The other major product of this research is a resource document, titled Developing Inputs for the Motor Vehicle Emissions Simulator Model: Practitioners’ Handbook, that provides information for practitioners on how to develop local inputs for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s MOVES model. Four tools, along with supporting documentation (MOVES Tool Documentation), were also developed to assist MOVES users in developing specific inputs. The Practitioners’ Handbook is produced in two volumes: • Volume 1 – Regional-Level Inputs (for county-scale applications of MOVES); and • Volume 2 – Project-Level Inputs (for project-scale applications of MOVES). This Final Report documents the research process for developing the Practitioners’ Handbook and tools, and provides additional documentation not included in the handbook. The objective of NCHRP Project 25-38 is to produce guidelines for transportation practitioners on methods, procedures, and datasets needed to develop and obtain transportation-related regional- and project-level inputs for using MOVES to estimate emissions of criteria pollutants, air toxics, and greenhouse gases. The guidelines are intended for all practitioners at state departments of transportation (DOT), metropolitan planning organizations (MPO), and other air quality agencies that are addressing transportation air quality analyses at the regional or project level. MOVES is the required on-road transportation emissions model for regulatory analysis purposes in the United States outside of California, and is the recommended model for non-regulatory purposes. The project was undertaken over a two and one-half-year timeframe, from February 2012 through July 2014. The project consisted of a literature review; a survey of MOVES users at state and regional agencies; a sensitivity analysis of MOVES outputs to various inputs; investigation of datasets that could be used for MOVES input development; and the development of the Practitioners’ Handbook. The document includes detailed examples for each input and is accompanied by tools to assist users in developing some inputs. The research focused on the development of inputs for MOVES2010a (and version 2010b, which contained minor updates). The project was completed just as MOVES2014 was being released by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Information is included in the document about important ways in which MOVES2014 input requirements may differ from MOVES2010 requirements, and about updates to the “default” data embedded in MOVES.
