Development of gridded mobile source emission estimates for Victoria county FY93, FY96, FY99, and FY07 in support of the Coast project. Interim research report, April 1992-August 1996

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:253936

This report documents the methodology used to develop the Victoria County gridded mobile source emissions inventories. Included in the report are an overview of the emission estimation methodology and the 24-hour traffic assignments used in the analyses; the methods used to estimate the seasonally adjusted time-of-day vehicle miles of travel and associated operating speeds; the estimation of the emission rates using the EPA`s MOBILE5a program; and an outline of the method used to develop the emission estimates using the MOBILE5a emission rates. The appendices present the MOBILE5a set-ups; the emission rates developed for the emissions inventory; and the SUMALL output tables showing VMT, VHT, and average operational speeds cross-classified by vehicle and roadway type, and pounds of VOC, CO, and NOx cross-classified by vehicle and roadway type. These emission inventories were developed in support of the Coastal Oxidant Assessment of Southeast Texas Project (COAST); a large-scale study of ozone formation being conducted by the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commision (TNRCC).
