Abstract

The impact of aggregating input data in roadway scales and the use of Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES) default schedule to emission results were investigated. Using MOVES project-level analysis, vehicle activity data collected from a 500-ft segment at I-85, Atlanta in 2012 was utilized. Second-by-second speed in each lane and in each source type were collected to estimate emissions using disaggregated input that employs onroad speed fluctuations, operations differences across lanes, and interactions between fleet composition and variations in modal activity. The case study showed as large as 69% overall CO emissions differences and 39% overall PM2.5 emissions difference from inappropriate input aggregation. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 108th AWMA Annual Conference and Exhibition (Raleigh, NC 6/22-25/2015).
