摘要

The MOtor Vehicle Emissions Simulator (MOVES) model has been designed to provide emission estimates ranging from the microscale level (individual projects or roadways) to the macroscale level (county, state, and nationwide inventories). Thus far, the MOVES development process has focused primary on macroscale applications, such as estimating emission inventories in specific counties or regulatory planning areas. The next development stage for the model is intended to include more microscale-oriented applications, such as roadway link level modeling or project level modeling. For example, the user may want to model the vehicle emissions from a specific expressway interchange, or model the expected change in emissions from an arterial roadway corridor for which congestion level improvements are expected through signal synchronization or widening/capacity increases. The central purpose of this study was to build a library of link-specific and/or project level driving cycles for use in the MOVES model as default cycles.
