Outline
• Introduction
• Defining the Project
• Creating the MOVES Runspec
• Entering the Project Level Data
Project Domain/Scale is the finest level of
modeling in MOVES.
It allows the user to model the emission effects
from a group of specific roadway links and/or a
single off-network common area.
The definition of a roadway link is a section of any
road where a vehicle is moving for more than three
seconds.
-------
v>EPA
Introduction
^^^^^^H
The National Academy of Sciences suggested that
EPA add a 'microscale' model domain to its
emission modeling 'toolkit'
Project level allows MOVES modeling at the 'Link'
level
- Roadway links
- Off-network link
Project level models the 'average' conditions on a
set of connected link(s). It does not perform
'SimCity type simulations' or traffic demand
modeling 0
An off-network common area may include project
boundaries where vehicle starts, extended idling and
evaporative emissions are produced.
The use of the Project Domain/Scale requires the user
to completely define the individual project (i.e., specify
all individual roadway links and/or off-network common
area).
The MOVES Project Domain/Scale will utilize MOVES
emission rates and other factors to correctly calculate
emission inventory results for the user's defined project.
-------

Introduction (cont.)
Utilizes MOVES emission rates and correction
factors
• It does NOT utilize the regular MOVES growth, VMT
or population data. These must be supplied by the
user.
• It allows the user to specify only one combination
of ... per run
- County
- Year
- Month
- Hour A

v>EPA
Introduction (cont.)
All pollutants covered
Chained pollutants require inputs for the entire
'chain'
Processes covered
- Running
- Start
- Extended Idle
- Brake and Tire
Evaporative processes NOT Covered
Only Calculation Type of "Inventory" may be done.
5
DRAFT MOVES2009 is not capable of modeling any
evaporative emission processes when using Project
Domain/Scale. EPA plans to remedy this feature in
future versions of MOVES.
Only the Inventory Calculation Type may be selected in
conjunction with the Project Domain/Scale.

Define the Project
Basic Schematic of the Project
-------
Project Assumptions
Only two links (inbound and outbound from a parking lot)
exist.
• The two links and the off-network link are independent
The off-network link consists of parking, extended idle and
starts.
Only heavy-duty combination long-haul diesel trucks are
present on the roadway
Only nitrogen oxide emissions are included.
Only one hour of operation is considered.

The Operating Mode Distribution Importer is used
only in the Project Domain Manager. It allows the
user to import operating mode fraction data for source
types, hour / day combinations, roadway links and
pollutant / process combinations that are included in the
RunSpec and Project domain.
-------
v>EPA
Opmode & Driving Schedule
Two Tabs
Operating Mode and Driving Schedule Tabs have
Interactions
- Operating mode distribution input is required for the ...
• Start process
• Extended idle process
• Running process where no drive schedule is supplied
- Drive Schedule Input is optional and used only for roadway
links and the 'running' process.
35
These data are entered as a distribution across
operating modes. Operating modes are llmodes"of
vehicle activity that have distinct emission rates. For
example, "running" activity has modes that are
distinguished by their Vehicle Specific Power and
instantaneous speed. "Start" activity has modes that
are distinguished by the time the vehicle has been
parked prior to the start ("soak time").
For a given source type, hour/day combination,
roadway link and pollutant / process combination, the
operating mode distribution must sum to one.

Links
The Links Importer is used only in the Project
Domain Manager. It allows the user to define
individual roadway links. The MOVES links need not
correspond to traffic modeling "links" but each link
should be uniform in its activity as described by the
following parameters.
-------
© vvEPA
Link Inputs
LinkID
CountylD
ZonelD
Link Length
Link Volume
Link Average Speed
Link Description
Each link in Project must be
entered
ZonelD has a zero at the
end
Each link is associated with
a MOVES roadtype
Link Length is in MILES
Link Volume is total traffic
volume in one hour
Link Average Speed is in
miles per hour
Link Description is a non
executing text field
54
Each link requires a linkID (i.e., a unique integer
between 1 and 99999 that is used to reference the link
in the program),
countylD, zonelD, and roadTypelD
(these also must be specified in the Runspec or an
error will occur),
the length of the roadway link in units of miles, the
traffic volume on the roadway link in units of vehicles
per hour, and the average speed of all of the vehicles
on the roadway link in the given hour. The link
description field is a text field included for reference and
has no impact on the calculations.

Off-Network
The Off Network Importer is used only in the Project
Domain Manager. It provides information about vehicles are
not driving on the project links, but still contribute to the project
emissions. For each source type in the RunSpec, 'vehicle
population' is the average number of "off network" vehicles.
The 'start fraction' field is a number from 0 to 1.0 which
specifies the fraction of this population which has a 'start'
operation in the given hour.
The 'extendedldle fraction' field is a number from 0 to 1.0
which specifies the fraction of the population which has had an
'extended idle' operation in the given hour.
Finally, the 'parked vehicle fraction' field is a number from 0 to
1.0 which specifies the fraction of the 'vehicle population'
which have been parked in the given hour.
-------
vvEPA
Off-Network Tab
^^^^^m
Source Type
Vehicle Population
- Average number of off-network vehicles
Start Fraction
- Average fraction of the population which has been started
during the hour (may be greater than unity if the average
vehicle is started more than once per hour)
Extended Idle Fraction
- Only used for long-haul diesel trucks (0-1.0 range)
Parked Vehicle Fraction
- Only used for Evaporative, and is currently inactive.
59
For example, a vehicle population of 10 long-haul
combination trucks with a start fraction of 0.5, an
extended idle fraction of 0.25 and a parked vehicle
fraction of 0.5 implies that the project includes the
emissions associated with 5 starts, 150 minutes of
extended idling and 300 minutes of parking for this
sourcetype.
Note Draft MOVES2009 computes extended idle
emissions only for long-haul combination trucks, not for
other sourcetypes; thus the extendedldleFraction is
ignored for sourcetypeids other than 62.

Generate Importer XML File
- Similar to a Runspec File (GUI inputs are represented as XML
text)
- XML file will contain a path/filename to the location of the
spreadsheet data files. Actual data is not contained in the
XML file.
- Project Level Databases can be run using DOS command line
scripts

Task816CountyDataManager\importAIIFromTemplates.xml
Command Line Example
Once the GUI is used to create an importer XML file, it can be edited and executed
via the command line. Remember that when using the command line, text output is
not sent to the screen but instead stored in MOVESBatch.log.
An example command line is:
setenv
Java gov.epa.otaq.moves.master.commandline.MOVESCommandLine -e DEBUG -i
Task816CountyDataManager\importAIIFromTemplates.xml
Be sure to place all of this on one line. The "-e DEBUG" portion ensures that all
messages will be captured, even if just informational. The "-i" option directs
MOVES to the XML file that describes the import actions to occur. Note that this
XML file essentially contains a RunSpec within it, thus allowing wildcards even
when done via the command line.
