Transportation Energy and Emissions Modeling System (TEEMS): Configuration for Forecasting Transportation-Source Emissions for the 1985 Test Runs

摘要

As part of the model development and testing efforts of the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program, the Transportation and Emissions Modeling System (TEEMS) was evaluated and tested for its ability to forecast emissions of acid-rain precursor pollutants. This report describes the testing of various TEEMS components. A discussion of the driver inputs for the activity projection modules is followed by a description of the regionalization and emissions-computation procedures. A base-case economic and demographic test scenario and two alternative scenarios are described. Results of activity- and emissions-forecasting model runs are presented, and the sensitivity of TEEMS components to demographic, economic, and technological changes is discussed.
