The original Texas Intersection Model (TEXIN) for air quality near street intersections has been widely adopted across the nation. At the request of transportation agencies from several states, the TEXIN model was revised to improve its performance and flexibility. The new capabilities include T-intersections, one-way streets, four-way stops, inspection/maintenance capabilities, anti-tampering programs and a short-cut emissions algorithm. TEXIN2 uses the CMA procedures for estimating traffic flow parameters, MOBILE3 to determine free flowing traffic cruise emissions, and CALINE3 to model the pollutant distribution downwind of an intersection. The new model, TEXIN2, offers the user more accurate simulations with enhanced versatility while still requiring a minimal amount of input data.
