                                       SECTION 1

                                    INTRODUCTION
       The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA) highway emissions factor model,
MOBILE, is the primary model used by state and local agencies to simulate mobile source emissions
generated in their areas. In order to model emissions from motor vehicles, MOBILE must incorporate
data characterizing the fleet of vehicles in use in the United  States.  The vehicle population is
characterized by the total number of vehicles in operation within certain vehicle weight categories, the
age distribution and  fuel type (gasoline or diesel) within each weight category, and the mileage
accumulation rates specific to vehicle age, fuel type, and weight category.  The characterization for a
given calendar year is based on a July 1 "snapshot".

       Due to changes in economic and demographic conditions in recent years, there  have been
significant changes in the age distribution, vehicle-type distribution, and mileage accumulation rates
for the current national motor vehicle fleet since the last version of the  model (MOBILESa) was
released in March 1993.  As such, the fleet characterization data currently used in MOBILE must be
updated to reflect these changes.

       This study utilized the latest available data to update the characterization of the national fleet
of vehicles used in the MOBILESa model.  The results  of this study may be used in MOBILE6,
currently under development. ARC ADIS Geraghty & Miller reviewed potential sources of information
and analyzed the most relevant and useful data sources.   The results of this study, as well as a
description of the data and methodologies used to obtain the results, are presented in this document.

       Table 1-1 lists the individual vehicle type categories included in the study.  Registrations and
average annual mileage  as functions of vehicle age were developed for each of these categories.
Registrations were also summed for the entire set of vehicles and certain subsets.

       With respect to registrations, ARC ADIS Geraghty & Miller attempted to use 1996 as the base
year for the characterization. Transit bus registrations are the exception, for which the base year is
1994. Similarly, it was not possible to use 1996 as the base year for annual mileage accumulation rates,
since sources of these data were developed prior to 1996. The base year for each of these data sources
will be identified in the relevant subsections of Section 3.

                             REVIEW OF DATA SOURCES
       To develop a fleet characterization, ARCADIS Geraghty & Miller reviewed numerous data
sources for relevant and accurate content.  In this section, both the data sets analyzed, and those that
were reviewed but not used (or used minimally), are described. A description of the data sources
reviewed but not used is found in Section 2.1.  A description of the data sources used for this study is
found in Section 2.2. Analysis methodologies are described in Section 3. Results of the analysis are
found in Section 4.

2.1    SECONDARY DATA SOURCES

       Most of the sources used minimally by ARCADIS Geraghty & Miller were tables and charts
listed in popular industry publications. In most cases, ARCADIS Geraghty & Miller found that either
pertinent data from these sources were missing or provided in a format that could not be translated into
the weight class/age/fuel type breakdowns required for this study.  For example, often vehicles were
tabulated according to location instead of weight or age. In these cases, the total vehicle data  from
these sources were used only to verify the final results obtained from other data sources. These sources
have been called "secondary data sources".

The Gallup Organization Final Report for the Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Association. 1993

       The Gallop Organization study was conducted to determine private light-duty vehicle driving
patterns to help make estimations of emissions and fuel economy. It consisted of two samples, one
taken by telephone and  the other by mail.  The total number of respondents to both surveys was
approximately 8,300. The data recorded includes a number of different items such as driver profile,
vehicle make and model, cargo carried, the number and purpose of trips, and the type of road utilized.

       Vehicle age and mileage were recorded, but the results were not published in a cross-correlated
fashion. In other  words, it was not possible to associate the vehicle's age with the miles it drove.
Further, to define  a vehicle's classification, Gallup used their own definitions that generally were not
consistent with the vehicle categories required for this study.  For example, Gallup divided vehicles
into either passenger cars or vans/trucks, with no reference to weight. Finally, the resultant data was
not expanded to national levels, but instead reported in percentages of the overall sample. Given these
limitations, ARCADIS Geraghty & Miller felt that such data were not applicable for use in the present
study.

1995 Motor Vehicles Facts & Figures (American Automobile Manufacturers Association)

       The 7995 Motor Vehicles Facts & Figures by the American Automobile Manufacturers
Association (AAMA) is a compendium of tables and graphs sorted into several categories, such as
production, retail sales, registrations, ownership, travel trends, and automobile related fatalities. It has
a wealth of information pertaining to the motor vehicle industry, and was used by ARC ADIS Geraghty
& Miller as a point of departure for exploring other potential sources. It was not used for raw data itself
because it breaks vehicles out into categories that are different from those used in this study. One table
does categorize passenger cars by model year, but it does so only for LDVs, and only back to model
year 1979.  The data on vehicle registrations presented in this publication was derived from data
maintained by R.L Polk & Company (which was used extensively in this study). ARC ADIS Geraghty
& Miller used the AAMA publication to verify total numbers of vehicles on the road.

Automotive Fleet 1994 Fact Book (Bobit Publication)

       In this annual publication, a number of quantitative tables characterizing the various vehicle
fleets in  the  United States are presented.  Information about truck  market share, yearly model
registrations,  operating costs, and fleet size is provided, but few data referring to fleet age or mileage
are included.  ARCADIS Geraghty & Miller did not use information from this source.

School Bus Fleet  1997 Fact Book Issue (Bobit Publication)

       The Fact Book Issue of the magazine School Bus Fleet presents statistical data regarding the
United States school bus fleet, including total registrations, annual mileage,  students transported, and
fatalities. This issue was used for one important statistic: average school bus annual mileage.  Since
annual mileage data by model year were unavailable from other sources, this value (9,939 miles per
year) was used as  the mileage for every model year.

1996 Highway Statistics (Federal Highway Administration)

       The 1996 Highway Statistics book is a compilation of statistics in several categories, with most
data items in the areas of highway finance and  road  characteristics.   The  Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) records this information from various state and local administrative agencies
and publishes the Highway Statistics annually. While the document does  contain some substantial
registration information according to vehicle type, registration data was not specified by vehicle age.
Further, the statistics contain no information regarding fuel type. Thus, in most cases, ARCADIS
Geraghty & Miller was not able to use these data for this study. However, information on total vehicle
miles traveled in the United  States was used to verify the numbers generated using more detailed.
Also,  certain statistics indicated that the number of government owned vehicles are insignificant
compared to the total number of vehicles on the road. This supported the application of private vehicle
annual mileage rates (provided in the NPTS database - see Section 2.2) to both public and private
vehicles as sufficiently accurate for this study.
                                            2-2

-------
1995 Transit Passenger Vehicle Fleet Inventory (American Public Transit Association)

       This American Public Transit Association (APTA) inventory categorizes and lists passenger
vehicles according to the fleet in which they are operated.  It provides counts of vehicles in a variety
of categories, namely manufacturer, city of construction, specification, cost, ownership, and seating
capacity. The book also includes a section listing transit buses by age but not by fuel type.  Since data
from the Federal Transit Administration (see Section 2.2) did contain both model year and fuel type,
it was chosen to provide data for this study over that presented in the APTA document. ARCADIS
Geraghty & Miller used thi s publication mainly to verify the regi strati on data obtained from the Federal
Transit Administration.

The 100-Year Almanac and 1996 Market Data Book (The Automotive News)

       The 100-Year Almanac provides a historical representation of the automotive industry since
the turn of the century by highlighting key events and following manufacturer sales on a yearly basis.
The 1996 Market Data section of the magazine compiles statistics related to production, sales, and new
registrations for the year. The data contained in this source is extensive with respect to vehicle make,
model, and fuel type, but has very limited data categorizing vehicles by weight or  model year.
Therefore, ARCADIS Geraghty & Miller was unable to incorporate this source of data into the study
results.

2.2    PRIMARY DATA SOURCES

       The following data sources were used extensively in this study and are referred to as "primary
data sources." The data sources found most useful were contained in electronic databases from the R.L.
Polk & Company (Polk), the 1992 Truck Inventory and Use Survey (TIUS), the 1995 Nationwide
Personal Transportation Survey  (NPTS),  and in databases from the Federal Transit Administration
(FTA).

       Primary data sources used for each vehicle type registration and annual mileage accumulation
are listed below in Table 2-1 and described below.

R.L. Polk & Company

       The only centralized source of nationwide vehicle registration data of the type needed for this
study is assembled by R.L. Polk & Company. Polk compiles Department of Motor Vehicle registration
information  from each state into their database on a quarterly basis. These data include, for each
vehicle, information describing make, model year, fuel type, and gross vehicle weight.

       Data from two databases at Polk were required for this study. The first database records light-
duty vehicles and truck registrations according to make, model year, fuel type, and gross vehicle
weight. Information was available from this database as of July 1, 1996.

       The second database contains heavy-duty trucks and school buses, again recording make, model
year, fuel type, and gross vehicle weight. ARC ADIS Geraghty & Miller received two sets of heavy-duty
vehicle data from Polk:  Oct 1, 1996 and Jan 1, 1997.  In Section 3, the methodology used to convert
data from these dates to a July 1, 1996 snapshot is described.

       For consistency, ARC ADIS Geraghty & Miller defined Age 1 vehicles to be model year 1996
for all Polk registrations. Mileage accumulation rates were not acquired from this source.

Truck Inventory and Use Survey

       The Truck Inventory and Use Survey was conducted during the 1992-1993 time frame by the
U.S. Bureau of the Census.  The database, which was supplied to ARC ADIS Geraghty & Miller on
CD-ROM, compiles a statistically significant sample of on-road light-duty and heavy-duty trucks.
Each record is the equivalent of one vehicle.  Data for each record is extensive, and  includes the
required attributes of age, gross vehicle weight, and fuel type.  Most importantly, the database records
miles driven in calendar year 1992 by these vehicles.  This data was used  to determine mileage
accumulation for light-duty and heavy-duty trucks.

       Model year 1992 was designated as Age 1 vehicles for the TIUS data.

Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey

       Data recorded in the  Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey  was developed by a
consortium of Department of Transportation agencies to characterize the nature of personal travel (as
opposed to commercial and institutional travel). The 1995 survey, the fifth in the NPTS series, consists
of 42,033 individual telephone interviews. The survey asked interviewees about their travel habits,
including trip length, number and purpose of trips, and time of day. Also, information related to the
subj ects' personal background and vehicle characteristics was recorded during the study. Of relevance
to the ARC ADIS Geraghty & Miller study, the NPTS contains data regarding light-duty vehicle type,
age and  annual mileage. Annual mileage was supplied both as a self-estimated value and one
determined by annualizing two odometer readings taken during the year. The second odometer reading
was taken from 2 to 6 months after the first. The NPTS data, however, does not contain data recording
fuel type or vehicle weight. Like the TIUS data, ARC ADIS Geraghty & Miller received the NPTS data
on CD-ROM.
                                           2-4

-------
       Age 1 vehicles in the NPTS data are defined as model year 1995 vehicles.

Federal Transportation Administration

       The Federal Transit Administration supplied transit bus inventory data to ARCADIS Geraghty
& Miller in electronic form. The FTA helps fund transit districts across the nation; as part of this
program, funded agencies are required to submit revenue and vehicle inventory forms to the FTA on
a yearly basis. Included among the data recorded on these forms (Form 408) is the vehicle mileage
traveled during the previous year and the model year of the bus. This allowed calculation of transit bus
mileage by age in addition to total vehicle counts.

       The latest available version of this data was recorded in 1994. Thus Age 1 is defined as model
year 1994 for this data set.

                         DATA ANALYSIS METHODOLOGIES
       ARCADIS Geraghty & Miller performed an analysis of both vehicle registrations and annual
mileage data sources.  The following subsections describe the methodologies used to determine the
values for these tasks. The data sources and methodologies used for registration purposes are described
in Section 3.1, those used to characterize annual mileage data are described in  Section 3.2.  Results of
these an analysis can be found in Section 4.

3.1     VEHICLE REGISTRATIONS

       As required under Work Assignment Tasks 1, 2,  and  3, ARCADIS Geraghty & Miller
determined total vehicle registrations and vehicle registrations as a function of age for all vehicle types
listed in Table 1-1. The primary source of this data was the Polk database, while information on transit
bus registrations was taken from the FTA database.

3.1.1  R.L. Polk & Company Database

       Several manipulations were required to the data provided by Polk in tabular, electronic form
as an EXCEL spreadsheet.

       First, ARCADIS Geraghty & Miller divided Class 8 heavy-duty diesel vehicle registrations in
the Polk database into Class 8A and Class 8B subclasses, since these breakdowns were not available
from Polk.  Using registration data from the TIUS database, the percent of Class 8 vehicles below
60,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for each model year was calculated.  These
percentages were then applied to the Polk data for Class 8 trucks to estimate total registrations of Class
8A and Class 8B vehicles.  For model years not included in the TIUS data (1993 - 1996), ARCADIS
Geraghty & Miller assumed 26.5% of Class 8 vehicles are Class 8 A.  This value represents the average
percentage of all vehicles in model years 1983 to 1992.

       After splitting the data in this fashion, ARCADIS Geraghty & Miller translated the heavy-duty
vehicle October 1, 1996, and January  1,  1997 data to July 1,  1996.  The  two data sets  allowed
calculation  of attrition rates of registered vehicles between October 1, 1996 and January  1, 1997
specific to each model year, for all heavy trucks combined, but not for individual weight classes.
ARCADIS Geraghty & Miller used these attrition rates to "backcast" estimated registrations as of July
1, 1996, using  linear extrapolation   (Linear extrapolation of attrition  rates  is a reasonable
approximation considering the difficulty of obtaining and analyzing attrition data on monthly or shorter
periods, and is consistent with EPA's treatment and use of attrition information in MOBILESa and
earlier versions of the model). The same attrition rate calculated for all heavy trucks of each model year

                                           3-1

-------
was applied to each weight class for that model year. Note that the number of model year 1995 and
1994 trucks registered increased in the fourth quarter of 1996. This, according to Polk personnel, is
not unusual and reflects stored inventory of one- and two-year old vehicles continuing to be sold
through 1996.

       For model year 1996 heavy-duty vehicles, ARCADIS Geraghty & Miller performed a different
procedure to include new registrations.  The values used for the July 1, 1996 snapshot for the 1996
model year are one-half of the values provided originally from Polk as of January 1, 1997. These are
the number of vehicles sold halfway through the year, assuming an even introduction throughout the
year (For the same reason as described in the previous paragraph regarding attrition rates, use of linear
extrapolation for sales data is appropriate in the MOBILE model series).

       Internal USEPA review of the vehicle registration data reported by the R.L. Polk Company
identified apparent errors in some of the vehicle weight categories. Several USEPA reviewers noted
that the Folk-reported registration counts for light-duty diesel class 2 trucks (LDDT2) were far too
large. Discussions with  several staff members at the R. L. Polk company revealed that Polk defines
light-duty  class 2 trucks  as having GVWRs of 6,001-10,000 Ibs.  USEPA defines light-duty class 2
trucks as having GVWRs of 6,001 to 8,500 Ibs and heavy-duty class 2B trucks as having GVWRs of
8,501 to 10,000 Ibs.  As a result, data reported by Polk for LDDT2 include data for both USEPA
LDDT2 and HDDV(2B). Thus a methodology to split the Folk-reported class 2 truck registrations into
USEPA LDDT2 and HDDV(2B) needed to be developed.  To do this,  USEPA staff consulted Polk
staff, several USEPA experts on  truck populations, industry-published market data books, and the
Internet to determine the ratio of diesel-fueled light-duty class 2 trucks to diesel-fueled heavy-duty class
2B trucks. These investigations  resulted in an estimate of 10%  of the diesel-fueled vehicles with
GVWRs of 6,001-10,000 Ibs actually have GVWRs of 6,001-8,500 Ibs.  This estimate was further
supported  by discussions with staff at General Motors (which is the only manufacture currently selling
such trucks).  Therefore, it was assumed that 10% of the Folk-reported registered trucks weighing
6,001-10,000 Ibs actually weighed 6,001-8,500 Ibs.

       Further discussion with Polk staff indicated that these  excess vehicles should not be  added to
reported heavy-duty diesel class 2B category because this data was derived from a separate data source
which does separately define trucks 8,501-10,000 Ibs GVWR.  Therefore, the excess 90% of the Folk-
reported class  2 trucks were discarded, and the reported heavy-duty class 2B registrations were
maintained.

       Another reviewer of the preliminary data noted that registrations of  heavy-duty gasoline trucks
class 2B-3 were under reported. This was verified by comparing the reported 1995 registration total
(which is  assumed to be a close  representation of the number of vehicle sold in that year,  due to
expected low scrappage rates for trucks 6 months to 1.5 years old) to the actual sales of these trucks
(as reported in the 1997 American Automobile Manufacturers Association 'Motor Vehicle Facts and
Figures' report). Given reports from Polk that their reported light-duty gasoline class 2 includes trucks
that USEPA would define as heavy-duty gasoline class 2B trucks, is was noted that the light-duty
gasoline truck 2 category was being over estimated. Because sales of heavy-duty gasoline class 3
trucks are negligible, it was assumed that splitting the registrations that were being reported as LDGT2
by some ratio would more accurately represent LDGT2 and HDGV (class 2B-3) vehicles.  USEPA
analysis of manufacturer-supplied sales data derived a ratio of 75:25 for these two categories.

                                           3-2

-------
       Once the manipulations of the data described above were completed, the resulting tabular data
was transferred to new spreadsheets and graphs were created. Where data was available from other
sources like MOBILESa, these data were plotted along side the Polk data for comparison purposes.
The results of these comparisons are described in Section 4.

3.1.2   Federal Transit Administration Database

       Transit bus registration data for urban buses  was obtained from the  Federal Transit
Administration as an EXCEL spreadsheet. It was saved as a dB ASE file for processing. The structure
of the dBASE data file is shown in Table 3-1 below:

       Vehicle types codes other than those listed in Table 3-2 refer to non-bus transit vehicles, and
these records were eliminated from the database. As an urban bus is defined in the Code of Federal
Regulations (§86.093-2) as "a passenger carrying vehicle powered by a heavy heavy-duty diesel engine,
or of a type normally powered by a heavy heavy-duty diesel engine, with a load capacity of fifteen or
more  passengers ...", records which indicated that a bus had less than a 15  seat capacity were
eliminated from the database. Buses designated as inactive in the FTA database were not included in
this calculation, even though they still exist within the inventory.  (Inactive buses  accounted for
                                          3-3

-------
approximately 4% of the inventory.)  Even though  gasoline-powered buses are not technically
designated urban buses, the data set also contained a set of gasoline-powered buses that carried 15 or
more passengers. For consistency, gasoline-powered urban bus registrations were also documented in
this report.  No attempt was made to translate the 1994 FTA data to the 1996 baseline.

       The program BUSES.PRG, used to calculate bus registrations and mileage accumulation, is
listed in Appendix A. Bus registrations and comparisons to other data sets are discussed in Section 4.
Discussion of the calculation of mileage accumulation rates for transit buses can be found in Section
3.2.3.

3.2    ANNUAL MILEAGE ACCUMULATION

       ARCADIS Geraghty & Miller acquired and analyzed information regarding the annual mileage
accumulation of all vehicle types by age as stated in Work Assignment Task 5. The methodologies
applied to each of these source are described in the subsections below.

3.2.1   Truck Inventory and Use Survey

       To provide the best analysis of the TIUS data for the purposes needed by this work assignment,
ARCADIS  Geraghty & Miller manipulated the  TIUS data on a record-by-record basis. To do this,
pertinent data from the TIUS data file TI92MDF.DAT was converted into  a comma-delimited  file
using the C program TIUSCONV.C listed in the appendices. The comma-delimited file was then read
into a dBASE file following the structure presented in Table 3-3.

       Two additional fields were added to TIUSDAT.DBF to further help in the manipulation of the
data for this work assignment. They are listed in Table 3-4.

       Of the 247,282 records  that comprised the original data set  and were  appended from
TI92MDF.DAT to TIUSDAT.DBF, 1,612 were deleted because they had no model year designation
and 3,694 records were deleted because they designated fuels other than gasoline or diesel (liquefied
gas or other).  This left 241,976 records.

       Each TIUS data record (representing one truck from the survey) had several different weight
and weight class fields.  MAXWT represented  the maximum gross weight at which the vehicle or
vehicle/trailer combination was operated. TIUGVW represented the gross vehicle weight (GVW) of
the vehicle based on the average weight and is receded to TIUS specifications. While this is based on
average weight, it is probably a good indication of the GVW of large trucks.  PKGVW represents the
GVW class based upon the vehicle identification number (VIN) and is obtained from the manufacturer.
PKRWGT represents the gross vehicle registered weight which comes from state registration data. The
PKGVW and PKRWGT  are the same values used by Polk to determine weight classes.

       In reviewing the data, inconsistencies between the various weight class designations and
weights were found. For example, a single record (1 truck) could list a registered weight (PKRWGT)
of 4,000 pounds GVWR but also list a gross vehicle weight class (PKGVW) of 8, indicating a
registered weight of 33,000 pounds or greater. Discussions with Census Bureau staff provided an
explanation for these inconsistencies.  The two types of weights, PKGVW and PKRWGT, are based
on truck registrations, and are often entered into databases based on the VEST.  Prior to  1983, VEST
coding was not uniform, and, as a result, incorrect interpretations of gross vehicle weight may have
occurred during data entry. Therefore, discrepancies between the PKRWGT and PKGVW data fields
should be more prevalent for trucks older than model year 1983.  The recommendation of Census
Bureau staff was to use the PKRWGT and PKGVW for comparison to TIUGVW as a check for this
parameter's accuracy. TIUGVW gives an average gross weight value rather than the manufacturers
gross vehicle weight, but Census Bureau staff felt that the TIUGVW data was of high quality and, for
                                         3-5

-------
large trucks especially, would be a good indication of the gross vehicle weight rating.  While
ARCADIS Geraghty & Miller did not find that post-1983 data was necessarily more consistent than
pre-1983 data, the methodology recommended by the Census Bureau staff was applied to determine
which records were valid for use in this study. Only data records which met one of the following
criteria were retained:

       •     Records where the Polk class (PKGVW) and weight (PKRWGT) were consistent

       •     Records where the TIUS class (TIUGVW) and the Polk Weight (PKRWGT) were
             consistent

       •     Records where the TIUS class (TIUGVW) and Polk Class (PKGVW) were consistent

This resulted in 220,544 records for the analysis, approximately 90% of the original data set.

       These records were used to characterize average annual mileage accumulation as a function of
vehicle age and weight class. The TIUS data was not used to characterize vehicle registrations; instead,
Polk data was used as  was described in  Section 3.1.  TIUS data could not be used to characterize
registrations because records  were for survey responses only.  The  database does incorporate an
"expansion factor" (EXPANF) which is used as a multiplier on the survey response records to expand
the data to be representative of the entire national truck fleet.  However, the expansion factors are
specific only to each of five vehicle strata within each state: pickups, vans, single-unit light (26,000
pounds GVWR or less), single unit heavy, and truck tractor. Because the expansion factors are not
intended to, and the trucks surveyed were not selected to, correctly represent a model year- and weight
class-specific breakdown of the national truck fleet,  the TIUS data could not be used to characterize
national truck registrations by model year and weight class. Census Bureau staff agreed that it would
be inappropriate to use the expansion factors in this way.

       ARCADIS Geraghty & Miller calculated average annual mileage accumulations by averaging
the ANNMIL data for each weight class and model year. (The expansion factors were not applied to
the data records in the calculation of average annual mileage accumulation, since this calculation is also
specific by model year and weight class.)

       To compensate for trucks used less than 12 months in the year due to acquisition or disposal
during 1992, months of operation for each record were determined. It was assumed that the acquisition
or disposal happened mid month.  Thus a truck purchased in June of 1992 (ACQYR = 92 and
ACQMON = 6) was assumed to operate for 6.5 months in 1992, while a truck disposed of in June of
1992 (DISYR= 92 and DISMON = 6) was assumed to have operated for 5.5 months prior to disposal.
Months of operation were then averaged for each  model year and class and the annual mileage
accumulation for that case was then extrapolated linearly to 12 months of operation.

       The TIUS data model year designations are only given for vehicles with model years of 1983
or newer.  Vehicles 11  years of age and older  are  categorized together  as model year 11.  To
characterize mileage accumulation for vehicles 11  years of age and older, records with model year 11
and OBTAIN = 1  (purchased new) were placed in a  separate database (TIUS 11.DBF) with the same
structure as TIUSDAT.DBF. In those cases, model year was assumed to be the same as acquired year

                                           3-6

-------
(ACQYR) and average mileage was determined for each of the classes for all acquired years 1982 and
earlier. Data records for trucks of model year 11 purchased as used vehicles could not be incorporated
into the analysis because there was no data to indicate the specific model year of the truck.

       Curve fits were made through the first set of data (model years 1983 through 1992).  Only
points in the second set (model years earlier than 1983) that did not change the shape of the curve
generated by the first set of data more than 5% were used to produce the final curve fits. Two different
curve fits were applied, exponential and 2nd order polynomial. The one that produced the highest
coefficient of determination (R2) was chosen.

       No adjustments were made to translate the 1992 TIUS data to the 1996 baseline year for this
study. This is because total VMT calculated from the  1992 TIUS mileage estimates and the Polk 1996
registrations closely approximated other data sources (see Section 3.1).

       The program TIUS.PRG, used to calculate mileage accumulation, is listed in the appendices.
Results of this  analysis are given in Section 4.

       In addition to the above analysis, the TIUS data was further analyzed to determine if mileage
accumulation of specific types of light-duty trucks were statistically significant from the aggregated
light-duty truck classes. Specifically, data for the LDGT1 class (0-6,000 Ibs GVWR) was divided into
sports utility vehicles (SUVs), minivans (MVs), pickup trucks (PUs) and other light-duty trucks (OTH).
A statistical t-test (difference between two means) was run for each of the four categories of light-duty
trucks compared against the aggregated LDGT1 class data. The test showed within a 95% confidence
interval that  none of the four categories were statistically significant from the aggregated class. This
test was also run for the LDGT2, LDDT1 and LDDT2 vehicle classes and similar results were found.
Thus the  light-duty truck class  mileage accumulations were not disaggregated further beyond weight
class and fuel type. A chart showing curve-fit mileage accumulation for the four categories of LDGT 1
(SUVs, MVs,  PUs, and OTH),  plotted together with the aggregate LDGT1 curve  fit mileage
accumulation, can be found in Appendix A. While the shape of some of the curves look different from
others, no one curve is statistically significant from the others.

3.2.2   Nationwide Personal  Transportation Survey

       The data on CD-ROM from the Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey was supplied in
dBASE format along with other formats that were not used in this study. The dBASE file structure for
the data file used in this study is shown in Table 3-5.

       Two mileage estimates are listed in the 1995 version of the NPTS data base.  The first is a self-
reported  estimate  of annual mileage accumulation reported by the  interviewee.  The second is  an
annualized mileage calculated  from two separate odometer readings taken by the interviewee on two
distinct days within the year. The two odometer readings are generally spaced from 2 to 6 months. Of
the 75,217 vehicles sampled, 47,874 relate to passenger cars and 22,864 relate to light trucks. The
remaining records relate to other vehicle types such as motorcycles, recreational vehicles and unknown.
Of the 70,738 passenger car and light truck samples, 70,486 had self-reported annual mileage, 47,677
for passenger  cars and 22,809 for light-trucks.  Only 31,252 of the vehicles sampled had valid
annualized odometer readings. Of those, 21,154 were for passenger cars and 10,098 were for light

                                           3-7

-------
trucks. While the data set contained much fewer valid annualized odometer readings than self-reported
annual mileage readings, it was decided upon discussions with NPTS staff that the odometer readings
should be used for determining annual mileage accumulation.

       To better define the vehicle classes in the NPTS data, another field was added to the data base
which defined vehicle class (VEHCLASS). Using model codes, vehicle classes shown in Table 3-6
were defined. Vehicle model codes come from the National Accident Sampling System,  a major
database of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

       In discussions with NPTS, it was decided that the mileage (ANNUALZD) should be averaged
using the expansion factor (WTHHFIN) for each vehicle class (VEHCLASS) and model year
(VEHYEAR). The expansion factor, which is specific to each record, is a multiplier applied to expand
the survey responses to represent the national fleet.  The expansion factors are based on several
attributes of the survey respondent and help eliminate geographic bias in the data (since much more
data comes from some states than others).  NPTS staff strongly recommended that the  expansion
                                         3-8

factors be applied as part of the calculations. Since this data did not differentiate between gasoline and
diesel, the same mileage accumulation curve was generated for both1.  The data was then curve fit
using the both  a 2nd order polynomial and an exponential  curve.  The curve fit with the highest
coefficient of determination (R2) was chosen.  This  data was only used for determining  mileage
accumulation for light-duty automobiles because the TIUS  data, which includes light-duty trucks,
provided additional information on the type of fuel used and the gross vehicle weight of each vehicle.

       The program LDVS.PRG to calculate mileage accumulation is listed in Appendix A. Results
of these an analysis are given in Section 4.

       The NPTS data was also analyzed to  determine if there was any statistically significant
difference between mileage accumulations of various light-duty truck types. Since the NPTS data was
3 years newer than the TIUS data, trends in SUVs might show up in this data set which might not show
up in the older  TIUS data.  A t-test was run for each light-duty  truck type (SUVs, MVs, PUs and
others) listed in  Table 3 -6 and compared against an aggregate NPTS light-duty truck category.  As with
the TIUS data, within a 95% confidence interval, none of the various truck type mileage accumulation
data were statistically significant from the aggregated light-duty truck category.

3.2.3   Federal Transit Administration Database

       Mileage accumulation data for urban buses was calculated using the program BUSES.PRG as
discussed in Section 3.1.2. For each fuel type and model year, annual fleet mileage was summed and
divided  by the total number of buses. Buses designated as inactive in the FTA database were not
included in the denominator for this calculation. This results in a higher average annual miles per bus
than if both active and inactive buses were counted and used in the denominator.

       The program BUSES.PRGto calculate mileage accumulation is listed in Appendix A. Results
from these calculations are given in Section 4.
       1  According to USEPA, light-duty vehicles, whether gas or diesel, are generally used as personal
transportation and so are typically driven in patterns (annual mileage, trip frequencies, etc.) that are determined by
parameters other than fuel type.

                                        RESULTS
       Work Assignment Task 6 specifies that the results of this study be compared to the previous
data derived during development of MOBILESa. The results of this study are presented herein as
graphs and tables. In all cases, data from Polk and FTA are utilized for registration counts, and TIUS,
NPTS, FTA and Bobit data are used for mileage accumulation by age.  Table 2-1 in Section 2.2
indicates which data source is used for each vehicle type. On some of the graphs at the end of this
section, additional data series from other sources are presented for comparative purposes only.

       The Polk registration data presented in the following graphs does not perfectly coincide with
the previous characterization performed during the development of MOBILESa. Absolute values for
vehicle counts almost always differ by some discrete amount, as is to be expected when comparing data
sources developed with different methodologies.  In most cases, it is extremely difficult  to find
explanations that would account for the differences. In light of this, the following discussion attempts
to point out where the two (or more) data series either coincide or diverge in terms of relative trends
(peaks and valleys), rather than absolute difference. An attempt was made, however, to point out where
absolute values significantly differ and the possible reasons for these discrepancies.

       The same attempt has been made with the annual mileage  accumulation graphs.  Here,
however, a curve fit was placed through the related data set. This has been done to smooth the results
generated from data sets that, especially within certain weight classes, do not contain enough data
points to avoid some dramatic model year variation in the averaged results.  ARCADIS Geraghty &
Miller believes that while the graphs sometimes indicate highly erratic mileage differences from one
model year to the next (for the raw data), the curve fits are generally of the appropriate magnitude.

       To compare results from this study to other sources, ARCADIS Geraghty & Miller multiplied
the vehicle registrations from each weight class and model year with the respective curve fit mileage,
and then summed the products to obtain the total vehicle miles traveled (VMT) for the entire U. S. fleet
in 1996  (see Table 4-1).  This VMT figure (-2.130 trillion miles) was cross-checked with an
independent number generated by the 1996 Highway Statistics (-2.472  trillion miles). The 1996
Highway Statistics calculated total  VMT  and  registrations from a number of independent  sources
including state registration data, the 1995 NPTS report, and the 1992 TIUS report.

       Comparison of these two figures indicates that the current study proj ects 13.9% less total VMT
than the FHWA 1996 Highway Statistics study.  This is most likely due to a number of factors. First,
the source of registration information differ. In the current study, registration data was supplied by R.L.
Polk Company for 1996. According the FHWA 1996 Highway Statistics report, vehicle registration
data was collected directly from the fifty states.  A given state's reported vehicle registration data is
often incompatible with other states' data. For example, in some states a minivan, which by USEPA
regulations is defined as a light-duty truck, would be classified as a passenger car.  Both FHWA and
Polk have addressed this problem, and both data  sources are corrected for this.  However, FHWA
reports that "in some states, it is also possible that contrary to the FHWA reporting instructions,
vehicles which have been registered twice in the same state may be reported as two vehicles."  This
may account of some of the difference between the two studies' counts.

       A second source of deviation between the two registration estimates arises from the adjustments
that were made to the Polk registration data to address comments made by various USEPA personnel
(see Section 3.1.1).  This adjustment decreased light-duty truck registrations by approximately 6.1
million vehicles and increased heavy-duty truck registrations by approximately 2.5 million vehicles
resulting in a  total decrease of approximately 3.6 million vehicles in the total U.S. vehicle fleet in this
study.
                                           4-2

-------
       A difference in vehicle weight category definition is the primary source of the variation in the
heavy-duty vehicle registration counts. FHWA defines light-duty trucks as having GVWRs up to
10,000 Ibs and heavy-duty trucks as having a GVWR greater than 10,000 Ibs.  In accordance with
USEPA definitions, ARCADIS Geraghty & Miller defined light-duty trucks to include GVWRs only
up to 8,500 Ibs and heavy-duty trucks as having GVWRs greater than 8,500 Ibs.

       Furthermore, the bus category in Table 4-1 considers only considers school and transit buses
for the current study whereas the  1996 Highway Statistics probably includes buses in addition to
school and transit buses. Buses other than school or transit buses were treated as heavy-duty trucks in
the current study. Polk school bus registration data used in the current study tracked quite well with
other sources, such as the 1997 SchoolBus F/ee^ Fact Book and transit bus registrations from FT A used
in the current study tracked very closely with information from the APTA 7995 Transit Passenger
Vehicle Fleet Inventory.

       The average mileage accumulation  rates derived in this study were higher than the 1996
Highway Statistics for buses and lower for all other classes.  For LDVs, this study used annualized
odometer readings which were found to be approximately 10% lower than the self-estimated values
which were most likely used by FHWA. Also, the heavy-duty vehicles in this study included class 2B
vehicles (GVWR 8,500 - 10,000 Ibs) which have higher mileage accumlation rates than LDVs but
lower than heavy-duty trucks.  Since Class 2B vehicles account for approximately 50% of the heavy-
duty vehicles in this study, much of the difference in mileage accumulation rates between this study
and the 1996 Highway Statistics for heavy-duty vehicles results from the addition in this study of a
significant number of vehicles with lower mileage accumulation rates in the heavy-duty class.

       Bus mileage accumulations were significantly higher than those listed in the 1996 Highway
Statistics mostly due to inclusion of other bus types (other than transit and school) in the bus category
as defined by the 1996 Highway Statistics.

       The differences between data obtained under this study and other sources for each weight class
are discussed below for both registrations and annual mileage accumulations.

4.1    REGISTRATIONS

4.1.1  LDVs

       Light-duty registration data obtained from Polk (Figure 4-1) appear to follow the same trend
as the other sources of available registration data.  In general, NPTS counts follow Polk data closely.
This further supports the suggestion mentioned above that the R.L. Polk data is probably more accurate
than the 1996Highway Statistics shown in Table 4-1. MOBILES a data indicates slightly higher counts
than Polk, however, MOBILESa data represents registrations as of July 1,  1992 and vehicle attrition
between 1992  and 1996 could account for the differences.

4.1.2  LDTs

       Light-duty gasoline trucks  (Figures  4-2 and 4-3) also appear to follow  relatively similar
patterns.  The  major difference lies in model years 1976-1982, where peaks in the MOBILESa data

                                            4-3

-------
either do not appear or do not coincide with the Polk data.  Since LDDTs were not separated into
classes 1 and 2 during development of MOBILESa, discussion of this vehicle type is described below
under Aggregated Classes in subsection 4.1.5.

4.1.3   Heavy-Duty Trucks and School Buses

       Comparison data could not be found in other sources for these vehicle classes (Figures 4-4 to
4-16). In the heavy duty classes, TIUS data was found to be inconclusive for purposes of registration
counts, as was discussed above. Also, MOBILESa contains no easily reproduced block data for the
heavy-duty truck fleet. Thus, only the Polk data is provided in the charts for these vehicles types.

4.1.4   Transit Buses

       The data provided by the FT A (Figure 4-17) very closely follows the comparison APT A data.
This further supports the suggestion mentioned above that the apparent large discrepancy between bus
registrations in Table 4-1 is questionable.

4.1.5   Aggregated Classes

       Certain aggregations of vehicle classes have been included here upon request of the USEPA.
Aggregated classes are: LDGTs (Figure 4-18) which include LDGT1 andLDGT2, LDDTs (Figure 4-
19) which include LDDT1 and LDDT2, LDTs (Figure  4-20) which include LDGT1, LDGT2, LDDT1
and LDDT2, HDGVs (Figure 4-21) which include HDGV1 and HDGV2, HDGB (Figure 4-22) which
includes gasoline transit and school buses, HDDVs(3-5) (Figure 4-23) which includes HDDV(3) and
HDD Vs(4-5), HDDVs(8) (Figure 4-24) which includes HDDV(8 A) and HDDV(8B), HDD Vs (Figure
4-25) which includes HDDV(2B), HDD V(3), HDD V(4-5), HDD V(6-7), HDDV(8 A) and HDDV(8B),
and HDDBs (Figure 4-26) which include diesel transit and school buses.  The registration data
presented in these charts is simply the sum of the registrations in the classes indicated in the chart's
title.   Of particular note is the comparison between data sources of LDDTs (Figure 4-19).  As
mentioned above, MOBILESa did not discriminate between LDDTls and LDDT2s. For all LDDTs,
MOBILESa shows a peak in model year 1981, with registrations tapering off thereafter. The Polk data
shows significantly more LDDTs in the 1980s and 1990s, as well as a smaller peak in 1974. The reason
for the discrepancy  between these two sources is unknown.

4.2    ANNUAL MILEAGE

4.2.1   LDVs

       As shown in Figure 4-27, the annual mileage accumulation data provided from the NPTS
shows perhaps the most consistent data series of all the weight classes. Deviation of the data points
from the curve fit is generally small.  The graph shows that mileage accumulation rates developed in
this study from 1995 NPTS data are higher than the rates incorporated into MOBILESa, which was
based on the 1983 NPTS study. This is consistent with recent trends indicating that people drive more
miles each year than they used to.
                                          4-4

-------
4.2.2   LDTs

       Light-duty truck mileage provided by the TIUS fairly closely tracks MOBILESa data (Figures
4-28 to 4-31).  TIUS data for LDGTs indicates somewhat higher accumulation rates for the newer
vehicles and lower rates for older vehicles.  For LDDTs, the data indicates that mileage accumulation
is somewhat higher than previously modeled for all vehicle ages, especially in the younger vehicles.

4.2.3   HDGVs

       Heavy-duty gasoline  trucks follow the same pattern as  LDTs.  However, the  TIUS data
indicates that the older, heavier HDGV2s acquire  fewer annual miles than MOBILESa indicates
(Figures 4-32 and 4-33)

4.2.4   HDGBs

       ARCADIS Geraghty & Miller could not obtain suitable annual mileage rates for the gasoline
transit buses on an age basis. The 199 7 School Bus Fleet Fact Book Issue provides information placing
average school bus accumulation rates at 9,939 miles per year (for both gasoline and diesel school
buses).

4.2.5   HDDVs

       For the lighter heavy-duty diesel classes (2B and 3), the TIUS data indicates the same trends
as both LDTs and HDGVs (Figures 4-36 and 4-37) However, the relative difference compared to
MOBILESa is greater for these vehicle classes than the others, up to as much as 50% greater than the
previously used value.

       Classes 4 and 5 (Figure 4-38) show  an  altogether different pattern.  Here, TIUS annual
accumulation rates are significantly greater than previous MOBILE values for all vehicle ages. This
is especially true at about Age 10, where there is about a 100% increase in mileage. One possible
reason may partly explain this occurrence. Note that the MOBILESa curve is the same for both Figures
4-37 and 4-38.  This is because, in MOBILESa, mileage rates were accumulated for Classes 3 through
5 as an aggregate sum. Since there are nearly twice as many vehicles in Class 3 as there are in both 4
and 5 combined, the average mileage accumulation rate would tend to be lower, closer to the individual
Class 3 average.  Thus the MOBILESa curve plotted here for Classes 4 and 5 is probably too low to
properly characterize these weight classes.

       Classes 6 and 7 (Figure 4-39) indicate the opposite; TIUS mileage values are  slightly less than
older MOBILESa values.

       Classes 8A and 8B (Figures 4-40 and 4-41) mileage rates developed in this study are slightly
lower and higher, respectively, than MOBILESa.  This is due partly to the same reason as explained
for Classes 4 and 5. MOBILESa only tracked Class 8 mileage accumulation rates. That curve, which
appears on both these  figures, lies  in between  the two TIUS  data sets, since it is the average
accumulation rate for all the vehicles in both sets (although weighted about 3 to 1 toward the 8B class,
since there are about 3 times as many 8B vehicles as there are 8A trucks.)

                                           4-5

-------
4.2.6   HDDBs

       Like gasoline school buses, diesel school buses have an average mileage accumulation for all
vehicles of 9,939 miles per year.  Heavy-duty diesel transit bus mileages have been derived from an
analysis of the FTA Form 408 data set (Figure 4-42).  Comparison data from other sources is not
available for this class.

4.3    TABLES

       Additional information is provided in Tables 4-2 to 4-8 at the  end of this report. Each is
categorized by weight class, fuel type and model year. Table 4-2 shows the total registrations received
from Polk and modified by ARCADIS Geraghty & Miller as described above.  Table 4-3 shows the
raw annual mileage data available from the various sources listed above, while Table 4-4 is the annual
mileage curve fit for each weight class. Table 4-5 lists the mileage accumulation curve fit equations
used for each weight class. In Table 4-6, the percentage of vehicles in each model year as a fraction
of the total vehicles in the weight class is shown. Both total vehicles and percentages are also displayed
for aggregated weight classes in  Tables 4-7 and 4-8.  Finally, Table 4-9 is the gasoline/diesel sales
fraction of light-duty vehicles and trucks from 1985 to 1996, as requested in Work Assignment Task
4.
