Data aggregation issues in the application of the mobile emissions factor model. Final report, October 1993-January 1994
The appropriate level of spatial and temporal data aggregation for highway vehicle emissions analyses is one of several important analytical questions that has received considerable interest following passage of the Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) of 1990. The primary purpose of this report is to examine the effects on vehicular emissions that result from using different levels of spatial and temporal data disaggregation of actual travel data from three representative urban areas. The work also contributes to three important additional objectives that are of widespread current interest: The effects on total estimated vehicular emissions of using successive versions of the mobile model; an assessment of the Clean Air Act`s mandated Federal policies in reducing future year emissions; and specific MOBILE input variables that should be modified in developing a spatially and temporally disaggregated emissions estimate.
