.

The highway m obile source emission inventory was developed using available travel data and EPA’s

MOVES2010 a emission model. The methodologies used to produce the emission data conform to the

recommendations provided in EPA’s Technical Guidance . A mix of local data and national default

(internal to MO VES 2010a ) data has been used for this submission. Local data has been used for the

primary data items that have a significant impact on emissions. These include:

 Vehicle miles of travel ( VMT ) by vehicle type

.

 Average s peed d istribution

.

 Vehicle type mixes

.

 Source t ype p opulation (for light

- duty vehicles)

.

 Vehicle age distribution

.

 Hourly distributions

.

 Meteorology data

.

 Inspection/Maintenance p rogram

.

 Fuel s upply

.

For this submission, the 2002 base year traffic data source and environmental assumptions are consistent

with past analyses and submissions . For the rest of the years, m ost local data inputs to the analysis

process reflect the latest planning assumptions based on 200 8 data obtained from the Pennsylvania

Department of Transportation ( PennDOT )

, the Bureau of Motor Vehic les , and other local/national

sources

. N ewer data was availa ble and was used for traffic forecast growth rates

, control strategies (e.g.

Inspection

- Maintenance programs) , vehicle age distributions and fuel characteristics.

The analysis methodology is consistent with past statewide inventory efforts including the 200 8 National

Emissions Inventory (NEI) submission. This includes the use of custom post processing software to

calculate hourly speeds and prepare key traffic input files to the MOVES2010 a em ission model. A

detailed methodology is provided in Appendix D

- 1

. The following sections address the key input data

sources and analysis tools used for the emissions inventory for the Philadelphia Area

.Philadelphia Nonattainment Area Emissions Inventory : Executive Summary 4

.



## Analysis Tools

The mobile vehicle emissions inventory analysis utilizes several key software/programs for producing the

county emissions totals. These tools are outlined in Exhibit 3

.

.

CENTRAL Provides a batch menu driven process to

execute PPSUITE, MOVES 2010a and oth er

MYSQL steps.

The inventory reflects the highway mobile source emission estimations using EPA’s MO VES 2010a

emission model. EPA’s MOVES model was officially released on March 2, 2010 and was followed with

a revised versi on (MOVES2010a) in August 2010. Subsequent to the start of this analysis, EPA released

a newer version, MOVES2010b, in April 2012; however, the emission rates for criteria pollutants remain

consistent to previous versions. The MOVES 2010a model provides a more robust estimate of emissions

as compared to its predecessor MOBILE6.2. MOVES2010a has been integrated with local traffic, vehicle

fleet, environmental, fuel, and control strategy data to estimate emissions

.

PPSUITE represents an enhanced version of the Post Processor for Air Quality (PPAQ) software system

that has been used for previous inventory and conformity submissions in Pennsylvania. The software has

under gone significant revision s to ensure consistency with the MO VES 2010a . PPSUITE was used to

calculate hourly congested speeds for each roadway link, apply vehicle type fractions, aggregate VMT,

prepare MOVES 2010a traffic

- related input files and process MOVES 2010a outputs

.

The PPSUITE software and process methodologies are consistent with th at used for state inventories and

transportation conformity analyses throughout Pennsylvania

. Exhibit 4 summarizes the key functions of

PPSUITE.Philadelphia Nonattainment Area Emissions Inventory : Executive Summary 5



### CENTRAL is a menu

- driven software platform that execute s the PPSUITE and MOVES 2010a processes

in batch mode. The software allows users to execute runs for a variety of input options and integrates

custom MYSQL steps into the process. CENTRAL provides important quality con trol and assurance

steps including file naming and storage automation.



## Traffic Data Source/Fleet Data Inputs

Traffic Volume Data : The PennDOT Roadway Management System (RMS) data serves as the primary

highway data source for the county and functional class VMT estimates. The data source is used to

provide a “snapshot” of the regional roadway system and traffic volumes in 2002 and 20 08 (consistent

with past triennial updates of traffic data). The 2008 data is also integrated with traffic signal locations.

The data includes the average annual daily traffic (AADT) volumes for all state roadways in

Pennsylvania. To account for addition al local roadway VMT and to ensure consistency with reported

Highway Performance Monitoring System ( HPMS ) VMT totals, the V MT totals estimated from

PennDOT’s RMS are adjusted to match the annual 2002 and 2008 HPMS VMT totals respectively, as

reported to FH WA. For analysis year 2007, VMT is adjusted to match the annual 2007 HPMS VMT

total.

Seasonal Adjustments : Within MOVES, annual VMT is split to monthly sub

- totals and then to

weekdays and weekends using seasonal factors

. The monthly seasonal factors are developed from data

contained in the document s

, 200 2 Pennsylvania Traffic Data and 2008 Pennsylvania Traffic Data

, prepared by PennDOT’s Bureau of Planning and Research (BPR). The seasonal and daily factors

provided in this document are based on statistical analyses of 2002 and 2008 traffic counts taken at

permanent and in

- pavement ATR (automatic traffic recorder) locations throughout the state. 

### Exhibit 4 : PPSUITE ProcessPhiladelphia Nonattainment Area Emissions Inventory : Executive Summary 6



### Congested Speeds : B ased on the average annual daily traffic, a single set of hourly speed distributions

are estimated by the PPSUITE post processing system and input to MOVES. To disaggregate the daily

RMS volumes to hourly volumes, auto and truck hourly pattern data from PennDOT’s 2002 Pennsylvania

Traffic Data and 200 8 Pennsylvania Traffic Data report s are used to determine the tempora l variations in

traffic volumes

.

Vehicle Population : Vehicle population is a key input that has an important imp act on start and

evaporative emissions. MOVES 2010a requires the number of vehicles by 13 source types to determine

evaporative emissions. State 2002 and 2008 vehicle registration data (consistent with past triennial

updates of traffic data) was used to estimate vehicle population for light

- duty vehicles and school buses.

The data was split to source types using MOVES 2010a default population data. For transit buses, data

from PennDOT and the National Transit Database (NTD) was used to estimate transit b us populations by

county

. For all other heavy

- duty vehicles, PPSUITE calculates vehicle population based on the analysis

year VMT for each source type and default MOVES 2010a ratios of VMT and source type population (e.g.

the number of miles per vehicle by source type).

VMT by Source Type : The total VMT is disaggregated to the 13 MOVES 2010a source types. For this

inventory, the vehicle mix was calculated for each county and functional class grou ping utilizing a

combination of:

 2002 and 2008 RMS truck per centages

 2008 PennDOT and NTD transit data

 2008 school bus registration data

EPA’s MOVES 2010a default distribution of VMT by source type was used to determine the remaining

source type VMT percentages. The development of vehicle type pattern data input to the MO VES 2010a

software is described in more detail in Appendix D

- 1

.

Vehicle Age Distribution : Vehicle age distributions are required to be input by 13 source types . The

distributions reflect the percentage of vehicles in the fleet up to 31 years old

. The 2002 vehicle age

distributions have been used for th e 2002 emissions inventory

. A recent 2010 registration download from

PennDOT’s Bureau of Motor Vehicles Registration Database has indicated a substantially older fleet than

recorded in the 2002

- 2008 period

. As a result, t he 2010 vehicle age distributions have been used for this

inventory

. Due to insufficient data, only data for light

- duty vehicles are used as local inputs ; and heavy

duty vehicle ages are calculated using the internal MOVES 2010 a defaults for each Pennsylvania County

. The registration data download is based on M OBILE6.2 vehicle categories

. T he data was converted to

source types using the EPA convertor spreadsheets provided with the MOVES2010a emission model.



## Traffic Growth Assumptions

Traffic growth forecasting plays a pivotal role in estimating future year emissions for the region. There

are many uncertainties affecting projections of traffic growth including the current economic conditions,

potential fuel prices, the i mpacts of natural gas industry activities in many counties throughout the state,

and the future growth in population and employment. Growth rates for this emissions inventory were

based on an assessm ent of available data sources including the regional tra vel model maintained by the

Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission ( D V R PC) and PennDOT’s BPR growth rate forecasting

system.

All SIP mobile source highway inventories include the review and assessment of county

- specific growth

rates from a Penn DOT s tudy originally completed in 2005 and documented in the report, Statistical

Evaluation of Projected Traffic Growth, Traffic Growth Forecasting System: Final Report, March 14,Philadelphia Nonattainment Area Emissions Inventory : Executive Summary 7



### 2005

. As part of that study, a statewide traffic growth forecasting system was developed that incorporates

traffic data from P enn DOT’s Traffic Information System and socioeconomic forecasts. That forecasting

system is maintained by the PennDOT BPR and is updated on a periodic basis. This system was last

updated in December of 2 009 to develop new statistical relationships between historic VMT growth and

population (thru 2008). The forecast population was estimated from the Woods and Poole data “2010

State Profile”. The results of the study have been shared between P enn DOT, PaDE P, and other

Interagency Consultation Group members

, including the P ennsylvania Transportation

- Air Quality Work

Group ( which also includes EPA, FHWA, and representatives from larger MPOs within the state )

.

The growth rates from the PennDOT BPR forecasti ng sy s tem are evaluated against other available data

including travel model growth and other insights. For the development of MVEBs, upper estimates of the

VMT growth range are used for the forecast analyses. From an air quality perspective, the use of t he

upper boundary is conservative, and provides for factors outside P enn DOT or PaDEP control (e.g.,

potential socio

- economic growth above current forecasts, fleet age distributions, vehicle type distribution)

that influence motor vehicle emissions. Exhibi t 5 summarizes the assumed projected growth of VMT for

future analysis years in the Philadelphia Nonattainment Area

.

## Vehicle Population Growth Assumptions

Vehicle population growth forecasting plays a n important key role in determining emissions for future

year s for the region . For this inventory, v ehicle population was forecasted considering the growth from

three different sources:

 Household growth

 Population Growth

 VMT Growth

The household and population data w ere obtained from the PennDOT study documented in the report as

discussed above, Statistical Evaluation of Projected Traffic Growth, Traffic Growth Forecasting System:

Final Report, March 14, 2005

. The forecast household and population w ere estimated from th e Woods

and Poole data “2010 State Profile”. The final growth rate was calculated assuming the highest growth

rate of household and population data but then limiting it to the VMT growth rate. This methodology has

been used for past conformity analyses a nd has been accepted using the interagency consultation process

(Pennsylvania Air Quality Workgroup).



## I/M and Fuel Parameters

I/M Program: The i nspection m aintenance (I/M) program inputs to the MO VES 2010a model are based

on past and current programs within each county (all Pennsylvania I/M programs are based on county

boundaries). All analysis year s include Pennsylvania’s statewide program

. The MOVES 2010a model

ha s simplified the I/M program input parame ter s compared to MOBILE6.2

. The default I/M program

parameters included in MOVES 2010a were examined for each county and necessary changes made to the

defaults to match the actual local program.

In order to assure that emission controls are working proper ly, vehicle inspection and maintenance (I/M)

programs have been adopted in some nonattainment areas. These programs have the added benefit of

improving the fuel efficiency of vehicles

. The Pennsylvania inspection and maintenance (I/M) program

was upgraded and expanded throughout the state with a phase

- in period starting in September 2003 and

fully implemented by June 2004.

The program requirements vary by region (five regions) and i nclude on

- board diagnostics (OBD)

technology that uses the vehicle’s computer for model years 1996 and newer to identify potential engine

and exhaust system problems that could a ffect emissions. The program, named PAOBDII, is

implemented by region, as fol lows:

 Philadelphia Region

- Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgo mery and Philadelphia Counties

 Pittsburgh Region

- Allegheny, Beaver, Washin gton and Westmoreland Counties

 South Central and Lehigh Valley Region

- Berks, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon

, Lehigh, Northampton and York Counties

 North Region

- Blair, Cambria, Centre, Erie, Lackawanna, Luzerne , Lycoming, and Mercer

Counties

The OBDII program is implemented in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh along with tailpipe (idle in Pittsburgh

and idle and AS M in Philadelphia) and gas cap tests. Tests in other regions include:

 Subject vehicles registered in the South Central and Lehigh Valley counties receive the visual,

OBD and gas cap tests.Philadelphia Nonattainment Area Emissions Inventory : Executive Summary 9



###  Subject vehicles registered in the North region receive a gas cap test and visual inspection.

 Subject vehicles registered in the other 42 counties (67 total counties) receive a visual inspection

as part o f the annual safety inspection.

Fuel Assumptions : The MOVES 2010a default fuel formulation and fuel supply data were reviewed and

updated based on available local volumetric fuel property information. The gasohol market penetration

and RVP values were updated but MOVES 2010a default data was used for the remaining parame ters.

Updated assumptions included:

 Using 8.7 RVP for summer months

.

 Conventional gasoline used throughout the year for analysis year s 2002

.

 32% market share of conventional gasoline and 68% market share of 10% ethanol used

throughout the year for analys is year 2007

.

 10% ethanol used throughout the year for analysis year s 201 7 and 2025

.



## Meteorolog

y Data

Updated weather information has been obtained from WeatherBank, Inc. ( www.weatherbank.com ). The

10

- year (1998

- 2008) average minimum and maximum monthly temperature and relative humidity values

were obtained for each of the 9 airport locations in Pennsylvania.

The MOVES 2010a model requires temperature and relative humidity data for each hour of the day and

for all the 12 months for the annual analysis. EPA’s data converters were used to convert minimum and

maximum daily temperatures to an hourly temperature profile that could be input to MOVES 2010a

. These assumptions are consistent with the 2008 NEI inven tory submission.



## Vehicle Technology Programs

Federal Programs

Current f ederal vehicle emissions control and fuel programs are incorporated into the MO VES 2010a

software. The se include the National Program standards covering model year vehicles through 2016.

Modifications of default emission rates are required to reflect the early implementation of the National

Low Emission Vehicle Program (NLEV) program in Pennsylvania. To reflect these impacts, EPA has

released instructions and input files that can b e used to model these impacts. This inventory utilized the

August 2010 version of the files ( http://www.epa.gov/oms/models/moves/tools.htm ).

State Programs

The Pennsylvania Clean Vehicles (PCV) Program, adopted in 1998, incorporated the California Low

Emission Vehicle Program (CA LEVII) by reference

, although it allowed automakers to comply with the

NLEV program as an alternative to this Pennsylvania program until MY 2006. Beginning with MY 2008,

“new” passenger cars and light

- duty trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 8,500 pounds

or less that are sold or leased and titled in Pennsylvania must be certified by the California Air Resources

Board (CARB) or be certified for sale in all 50 states. For this program, a “new” vehicle is a qualified

vehicle with an odometer reading less than 7,500 miles. Pa DEP and PennDOT worked with the

automobile manufacturers, dealers and other interested business partners and finalized procedures for

complying with these new requirements. DEP focus es its outreach effort with the manufacturers and

dealers regarding what vehicles can be offered for sale and how to certify that the vehicles are compliant.

PennDOT’s role is to ensure licensing and r egistration records include these certifications of compliancePhiladelphia Nonattainment Area Emissions Inventory : Executive Summary 10

information obtained during PennDOT’s title and registration process to oversee and audit, a s needed,

certain vehicle title transactions to determine compliance to the program.

The impacts of this program are modeled for a ll analysis years beyond 2008 using the same instructions

and tools as downloaded for the early NLEV analysis. EPA provided input files to reflect the CAL LEVII

# INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this document is to explain how the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental

Protection (Department) estimates emissions from highway vehicles for inclusion in its emission

inventories and State Implementation Plans.



## Overview of Emissions Inventories

The Department’s inventories generally categorize emissions into four categories:

 H ighway vehicles

.

 S t ationary sources (major industrial, commercial and utility sources)

.

 A rea sources (smaller industrial/commercial sources, consumer products)

.

 N onroad mobile sources (including construction and agricultural equipment, lawn and garden

equipment)

.

An evaluat ion of emissions from point, area, and mobile sources is needed to develop a complete

inventory needed for a maintenance demonstration plan. This documentation addresses the mobile source

activity and emissions for base and future years used to support su ch a demonstration.

Of all of the sources of air pollution, only the emissions of some stationary sources are measured directly

and continuously through instrumentation. Emissions from all other sources must be modeled based on

available local data , i ncluding those from highway vehicles. In their very simplest form, estimates of

emissions follow the following pattern:

Emission rate x activity level = emissions per time period (usually day or year)

Most emission rates have been developed by the U

. S

. Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) , in

cooperation with industry and states, and are compiled and documented in to key references or emission

models. These include Compilation of Air Pollution Emission Factors (AP

- 42)

, the Motor Vehicle

Emission Simula tor (MOVES) model, and the NONROAD model. Adding up the products of the

emission rates and activity levels for all sources of a given pollutant constitutes the emission inventory for

that pollutant.



## Highway Vehicle Emission Inventories

Highway vehicles c ontribute significantly to air pollution, particularly to ground

- level ozone, which is the

most persistent air pollutant in Pennsylvania. Ground

- level 

### o zone is not emitted directly to the

atmosphere, but is formed by photochemical reactions between volati le organic compounds

(VOCs) and oxides of nitrogen (NO

x 

### ) in the presence of sunlight. The long, hot, humid days of

summer are particularly conducive to ozone formation, so ozone levels are of concern primarily

during the months of May through September. Both VOCs and NOx are emitted from highway

vehicles. In addition, fine particulates are also emitted directly by motor vehicles as a result of the

combustion process (tailpipe emissions), re

- entrained and transportation construction dust; and formed

throu gh reactions in the atmosphere among the precursors VOC, CO, NOx, NH3 and SOx.

Pennsylvania’s PM

- related emission inventory efforts focus on these pollutants.Appendix D

- 1 2



### Obviously, direct measurement of emission levels from all vehicles in use is impossible. In co mparison

to highway vehicles, estimating residential heating emissions is a fairly simple calculation because there

is a constant emission rate and a fairly simple measure of activity. However, f or highway vehicles

estimating the emission rate and activit y levels of all vehicles on the road during a typical summer day is

a complicated endeavor.

If every vehicle emitted the same amount of pollution all the time, one could simply multiply those

emission standards (emission rate in grams of pollution per mile) times the vehicle miles traveled ( VMT )

to estimate total emissions. But emission rates fr om all vehicles vary over the entire range of conditions

under which they operate. These variables include air temperature, speed, traffic conditions, o perating

mode and fuel characteristics . The inventory must also account for non

- exhaust or evaporative emissions.

In addition, the fleet is composed of several generations and types of vehicles with different emission

control technologies. This requires the estimation algorithm include the composition of the fleet (vehicle

ages and types)

.

In order to e stimate both the rate at which emissions are being generated and to calculate vehicle miles

traveled (activity level), Pennsylvania examines its road network and fleet to estimate vehicle activity.

For ozone

- related inventories, this is done for a typical summer weekday. For c arbon m onoxide (CO) and

p articulate m atter (PM) emission inventories, this may be done for a typical winter weekday , summer

weekday and/ or annual conditions. Not only must this be done for a baseline year, but it must also be

projec ted into the future. This process involves a large quantity of data and is extremely complex.

Computer models have been developed to perform these calculations by simulating the travel of vehicles

on the Commonwealth’s roadway system. The models a lso generate emission s rates (also called emission

factors) for different vehicle types for area

- specific conditions

, and then combine them in summary form.

The area

- specific conditions include vehicle and highway data, plus control measure characteristic s and

future year projections of all variables. The key models used to generate this mobile source emissions

inventory are:

MO VES : EPA’s MOVES model was officially released on March 2, 2010 and was followed with a

revised version (MOVES2010a) in Augu st 2010. The MOVES model provides a more robust estimate of

emissions as compared to its predecessor MOBILE6.2. MOVES calculates average in

- use fleet emission s

for each of thirteen categories of vehicles under various conditions affecting in

- use emission levels (e.g.,

ambient temperatures, average traffic speeds, gasoline volatility) as specified by the model user.

For this mobile source inventory, Pennsylvania used MOVES2010a as approved by EPA. MOVES can

be used to estimate national, state, and county level inventories of criteria air pollutants, precursors,

greenhouse gas emissions, and some mobile source air toxics from highway vehicles. Additionally,

MOVES can make projecti ons for energy consumption (total, petroleum

- based, and fossil

- based).

PPSUITE : For the Department’s highway emissions inventory, a post processor named PPSUITE

(formerly named PPAQ

- Post Processor for Air Quality) is used , which consists of a set of pr ograms that

perform the following functions:

 Analyzes highway operating conditions

.

 Calculates highway speeds

.

 Compiles vehicle miles of travel (VMT) and vehicle type mix data

.

 Prepares MO VES runs and processes MOVES outputs.

PPSUITE is a widely used and accepted tool for estimating speeds and processing emission s rat es. The

software is based upon accepted transportation engineering methodologies. For example, PPSUITE uses

speed and delay estimation procedures based on planning methods provided in t he Highway CapacityAppendix D

### Manual , a report prepared by the Transportation Research Board (TRB) summarizing current knowledge

and analysis techniques for capacity and level

- of

The PPSUITE process is integral to pro ducing key input files to the MOVES emission model. Exhibit 1

summarizes the key functions of PPSUITE and the traffic

- related input files prepared for the MOVES

County Data Manager (CDM).



### Exhibit 1 : Summary of PPSUITE Process

The following sections summarize the key data and methodologies used to produce the mobile source

emissions inventory. This includes a summary of local data sources and a step

- by

- step review of the

speed calculation process. The emission data and process has been developed according to

recommendations provided by EPA in key policy and technical guidance as provided below:

The process has focused on developing an emissions inventory using the available tools and data to its

fullest extent. This includes the use of available local data for items that h ave a significant impact on

emissions and applying a robust calculation process to estimate hourly traffic speeds.Appendix D

# WHERE DOES PENNSYLVANIA OBTAIN ITS DATA?

Summary of MOVES Inputs

A large number of inputs to MO VES are needed to fully account for the numerous vehicle and

environmental parameters that affect emissions . These include traffic flow characteristics (as determined

from the PPSUITE software), vehicle descriptions, fuel parameters, inspection/maintenance p rogram

parameters, and environmental varia bles

. MOVES includes a default national database of meteorology,

vehicle fleet, vehicle activity, fuel, and emission control program data for every county ; but EPA cannot

certify that the default data is the most c urrent or best available information for any specific area

. As a

result, local data is recommended for use for analyses supporting s tate i mplementation p lans (SIPs)

.

A mix of local and default data is used for this inventory. Local data sources are used for all inputs that

have a significant impact on calculated emission rates. Exhibit 2 summarizes Pennsylvania

- specific

inputs assembled and used for this inventory

. These data items are discussed in the following sections.

## Vehicle Miles of Travel (VMT)

The VMT input to emissions calculations for Pennsylvania is based on information from the Roadway

Management System (RMS) maintained by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s

( P enn DOT’s ) Bureau of Planning and Research (BPR) . P ennD OT obtains this information from periodic

visual and electronic traffic counts. RMS data is dynamic

, since it is continually reviewed and updated

from new traffic coun ts and field visits conducted by P enn DOT. Information on roadways included in the

National Highway System is reviewed at least annually, while information on other roadways is reviewed

at least biennially.

On a triennial basis, a current “snapshot” of t he RMS database is taken and downloaded to provide an up

to

- date record of the Commonwealth’s highway system for estimating emissions. Th is emissions

inventory is based on the most current snapshot of the RMS data.

The RMS database contains all state hi ghways, including the Pennsylvania Turnpike, divided into

segments approximately 0.5 miles in length. These segments are usually divided at important

intersections or locations where there is a change in the physical characteristics of the roadway (e.g. t he

number of lane s changes). There are approximately 99,000 state highway segments for the 67

Pennsylvania counties contained in the RMS. Each of these segments contains an abundance of

descriptive data, but only the following information is extracted fo r emission calculations:

 Lanes

.

 Distances

.

 Volumes representing Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT)

.

 Truck percentages

.

 P enn DOT urban/rural classifications

.

 P enn DOT functional class codes

.

 Number of signals (based on linkage to PennDOT GIS signal location data)

.

RMS volumes and distances are used in calculating highway VMT totals for each county. As discussed

in the next section, adjustments are needed to convert the volumes to reflect annual conditions. In

addition, the traffic volumes must be forecast to support future year emission inventories. Lane values

and traffic signals are an important input for determining the congestion and speeds for individual

highway segments. Truck percentages are used in the speed determination process and are used to split

volumes to individual vehicle types used by the MO VES software.

R oad segments are classified by function, as well as whether it is located in an urban, small urban or rural

area, as indicated below in Exhibit 3 . The P enn DOT urban/rural (UR) and functional classes (FC) are

important indicators of the type and function of each roadway segment

. The variables provide insights

into other characteristics not contained in t he RMS data that are used for speed and emission calculations.Appendix D

8=Rural Minor Collector 17=Urban Collector

9=Rural Local 19=Urban Local



### Additional Network Information: The PPSUITE s oftware system allows for many additional variables

other than those available in the RMS database. Using these variables improves the ability of the

Department to incorporate real roadway conditions into its estimates. The variables include information

regarding free

- flow speeds and capacities, signal characteristics and other physical roadway features that

can affect a roadway’s calculated congested speed. This data can be determined from lookup tables based

on a roadway segment’s urban/rural code and functional class. Much of the lookup table data was

developed from i nformation contained in the Highway Capacity Manua l

, PennDOT information on

speeds and signal densities , and other e ngineering judgment

.

MOVES Traffic Inputs: The PPSUITE software uses RMS traffic data to prepare key inputs to the

MOVES emission model including :

 VMT

.

 T ravel speeds

.

 R oad type distributions

.

 Ramp fractions

.

VMT is the primary traffic input that affects emission results. The roadway segment distances and traffic

volumes are used to prepare estimates of VMT. PPSUITE performs these calculations and outputs the

MOVES annual VMT input file to the County Data Manager (CDM).

Emissions for many pollutants (including PM and precursors) vary significantly with travel speed. For

PM, higher emission rates are associated with lower speeds and lower rates are associated with higher

speeds, as illustrated in Exhibit 4. To obtain the best estimate of vehicle speeds, the Department uses the

PPSUITE set of programs, whose primary function is to calculate speeds and to organize and simplify the

handling of large amounts of data needed for calculating speeds and for preparing MOVES input files

. The PPSUITE software prepares the MOVES vehicle hours of travel (VHT) by speed bin file which

summarizes the distribution of speeds across all links into each of 16 MOVES speed bins for each hour of

the day. This robust process ensures that MOVES emission rates are used to the fullest extent and is

consistent with the methods and recommendat ions provided in EPA’s Technical Guidance on the Use of

MOVES2010 for Emissions Inventory Preparation in State Implementation Plans and Transportation

Conformity

.Appendix D

- 1 7 

### Exhibit 4 : Emission Factor vs. Speed Variances (PM2.5)

In MOVES, typical drive cycles and associated operating conditions vary by the type of roadway.

MOVES defines five different road types as follows:

1 Off

- Network

. 2 Rural Restricted Access

. 3 Rural Unrestricted Access

. 4 Urban Restricted Access

. 5 Urban Unrestricted Access

.

The off

- network road type includes emissions from vehicle starts, extended idle activity, and evaporative

emissions. Off

- network activity in MOVES is primarily determined by the Source Type Population

input

, as discussed in a following section

. The remai ning distribution among road types is determined by

equating the PennDOT functional class with each MOVES road type as follows:

 MOVES Road Type (2) = PennDOT Functional Class (1)

.

 MOVES Road Type (3) = PennDOT Functional Class (2,6,7,8,9)

.

 MOVES Road Type (4) = PennDOT Functional Class (11,12)

.

 MOVES Road Type (5) = PennDOT Functional Class (14,16,17,19)

.

For this inventory, the MOVES road type distribution file is automatically generated by PPSUITE using

the defined equivalencies.

Since ramps are not di rectly represented within the RMS database information, it is assumed that 8% of

the Freeway V H T is Ramp V H T. This is consistent with the recommendations provided in EPA’s

t echnical g uidance

. S ource: Figure 3 from Implications of the MOVES2010 Model on Mobile

Source Emission Estimates, Air & Waste Management Association, July 2010.Appendix D

## Adjustments to Roadway Data

Before the RMS data can be used by PPSUITE for speed and emission calculations, several adjustments

and additions must be made to the roadway data. These adjustments are summarized below.

HPMS Adjustments : According to EPA guidance, baseline inventory VMT computed from the RMS

highwa y segment volumes must be adjusted to be consistent with Highway Performance Monitoring

System (HPMS) VMT totals. The HPMS VMT reported for Pennsylvania is a subsystem of the RMS

established to meet the data reporting requirements of the Federal Highway Ad ministration (FHWA) and

to serve as P enn DOT’s official source of highway information. Although it has some limitations, the

HPMS system is currently in use in all 50 states and is being improved under FHWA direction.

Although the HPMS VMT and the roadw ay data used for an inventory emissions analysis are both based

on data from the RMS system, differences do exist between them and include the following. First, the

HPMS and inventory roadway data are “snapshots” of the RMS data taken at different times. Since the

RMS is dynamic, changing constantly due to new data, differences will result between the data used for

calculating HPMS VMT totals and the inventory data used for an emissions analysis. Second

, since the

RMS does not contain many of the local r oadways, local road estimates of HPMS VMT are obtained

through alternative procedures developed by P enn DOT

. To account for such differences, adjustment

factors are calculated and used to adjust the inventory roadway data to the reported HPMS VMT totals

su bmitted to FHWA. The VMT contained in the HPMS reports are considered to represent average

annual daily traffic (AADT).

Adjustment factors are calculated which adjust the base year RMS download VMT to the reported HPMS

totals for that year. These factors are developed for each county and functional class combination and are

also applied to all future year runs. Adjustments for the “higher” functional classes (e.g. Freeway,

Arterials

- major routes) are close to 1.000 since HPMS VMT is derived from RMS in formation, and the

only difference in the data is that the “snapshot” for the emission calculations is taken at a different time

than for the HPMS. “Lower” classes (e.g. local roads) require greater adjustment since a large part of the

local system is not under state jurisdiction and is not in the RMS database. There is, of course, a

significant amount of local road mileage in the state. It is assumed that those local streets that are in RMS

are representative of all local streets in their area with respe ct to volume and speed, so that roadway

mileage adjustment is appropriate.

Seasonal Adjustments to Volumes : The RMS contains AADT volumes that are an average of all days in

the year, including weekends and holidays. PM and CO analyses require volumes r epresenting monthly

average conditions (needed for producing annual totals). Therefore, the RMS volumes must be seasonally

adjusted. Seasonal factors were developed for each functional class and urban/rural code based on yearly

count information prepared by PennDOT’s BPR. These factors are applied to the existing RMS AADT

volumes to produce the monthly volumes. The same factors are also used to develop the MOVES daily

and monthly VMT fraction files

.

Hourly Adjustments : Speeds and emissions vary considerably depending on the time of day

. Therefore, it is important to estimate the pattern by which roadway volume varies by hour of the day.

The 24

- hour pattern data provides PPSUITE with information used to split the dail y roadway segment

volumes to each of the 24 hours in a day. Pattern data is in the form of a percentage of the daily volumes

for each hour. Distributions are provided for each county and functional class grouping. This data is

developed from 24

- hour cou nt data compiled by PennDOT’s B PR , according to the process in the

agencies annual traffic data reports. The same factors are also used to develop the MOVES hourly

fraction file.Appendix D

- 1 9



### Traffic Volume Forecasts : Traffic growth forecasting plays a pivotal role in estimating future year

emissions for the region. There are many uncertainties affecting projections of traffic growth

, including

the current economic conditions, potential fuel prices, the impacts of Marcellus Shale activities in many

counties througho ut the state, and the future growth in population and employment. Growth rates for the

Department’s emissions inventor ies are based on an assessment of available data sources which include:

 PennDOT BPR growth rate forecasting system.

 Regional travel mod el, if available.

 Estimates of Marcellus Shale related activity growth, if applicable

.

All SIP mobile source highway inventories include the review and assessment of county

- specific growth

rates from a PennDOT study originally completed in 2005 and documented in the report, Statistical

Evaluation of Projected Traffic Growth, Traffic Growth F orecasting System: Final Report, March 14,

2005 . As part of that study, a statewide traffic growth forecasting system was developed that incorporates

traffic data from PennDOT’s Traffic Information System and socioeconomic forecasts. That forecasting

sys tem is maintained by the PennDOT BPR and is updated on a periodic basis to develop new statistical

relationships between historic VMT growth and population and updated demographic forecasts from

Woods and Poole , Inc. The growth rates from the PennDOT BPR forecasting system are evaluated

against other available data including travel model growth and other insights.



## Vehicle Type Processing

Emission rates within MOVES vary significantly by the type of vehicle. The MOVES model produces

emissions and rates by thirteen MOVES vehicle source types. However, VMT is input to MOVES by six

HPMS vehicle groups. Exhibit 5 summarizes the distinction between each classification scheme.

### The process used for this inventory includes a method to disaggregate the RMS traffic volumes to the

thirteen source types and then to recombine the estimates to the six HPMS vehicle classes. V ehicle type

pattern data is used by PPSUITE to divide the hour ly roadway segment volumes to the thirteen MOVES

source types. Similar to the 24

- hour pattern data, this data contains percentage splits to each source type

for every hour of the day. The vehicle type pattern data for this inventory is developed from sev eral

sources of information:Appendix D

- 1 10



###  P enn DOT truck percentages from the RMS database

.

 Hourly distributions for trucks and total traffic compiled by PennDOT’s B PR

.

 Transit data from PennDOT and the N ational T ransit D atabase

.

 S chool bus registration data from PennDOT’s Bureau of Motor Vehicles Registration Database

.

The vehicle type pattern data is developed for each county and functional class combination. First, RMS

truck percentages are averaged for all roadways within a county and functional class g rouping. Using this

percentage data, the total roadway volume for any segment is divided to auto and truck vehicle type

categories. The transit data and school bus data is used to further disaggregate trucks

, resulting in four

vehicle groups (light

- duty, school, transit, and other heavy

- duty)

.

From these groups, MO VES default Pennsylvania county VMT distribution s by source type are used to

divide the four groups into each of the MO VES source type s

. P enn DOT hourly distributions for trucks

and total traffic are used to create source type percentage breakdowns for each hour of the day.

Vehicle Type Capacity Analysis Factors : Vehicle type percentages are provided to the capacity

analysis section of PPSUI TE to adjust the speeds in response to trucks. That is, a given number of larger

trucks take up more roadway space than a given number of cars, and this is accounted for in the speed

estimation process by adjusting capacity using information from the High way Capacity Manual

.



## Vehicle Fleet and Population Data

The information on the vehicle fleet including the number and age of vehicles has a significant impact on

forecasted start and evaporative emissions within MOVES. The MOVES Model requires the population

of vehicles by the thirteen source type categories

. Pennsylvania county vehicle registration data is used to

estimate vehicle population for light

- duty vehicles and school buses. The data is split to source types

using MOVES 2010a default P ennsylvania county population data. For transit buses, data from PennDOT

and the National Transit Database (NTD) is used to estimate county transit bus totals. O ther heavy

- duty

vehicle population values are based on VMT for each source type using the ve hicle mix and pattern data

discussed previously. The PPSUITE software automatically applies default MOVES 2010a ratios of VMT

and source type population (e.g. the number of mi les per vehicle by source type) to the local VMT

estimates to produce vehicle pop ulation.

Vehicle population is forecast based on projected household and population growth from Woods and

Poole Inc. for each Pennsylvania county. The growth rate methodology includes:

 Choosing the highest growth rate between population and households

.

 Limiting growth as to not exceed the VMT growth assumptions

.

Vehicle Age : Vehicle age distributions are input to MO VES for each county by the thirteen source types.

The distributions reflect the percentage of vehicles in the fleet up to 31 years old. The most recent

available registration download from PennDOT’s Bureau of Motor Vehicles Registration Database has

been used for the inventory. Due to insufficient data, only information for light

- duty vehicles are used as

local inputs; and, heavy

- duty veh icles use the internal MOVES2010a national defaults. The registration

data download is based on MOBILE6.2 vehicle categories. As a result, the data was converted to source

types using the EPA convertor spreadsheets provided with the MOVES2010a emission m odel.Appendix D

- 1 11



## Environmental, Fuel and Technology Assumptions

Information on environmental, fuel, vehicle technology and other control strategy assumptions were

determined based on a review of MOVES 2010a default information by the PaDEP.

Fuel Parameters : The same vehicle will produce different emissions using a different type of gasoline.

Fuel control strategies can be powerful emission reduction mechanisms

. The MOVES2010a default fuel

formulation and fuel supply data were reviewed and updated based on available local volumetric fuel

property information. The gasohol market penetration and RVP values were updated for all the counties

. MOVES 2010a default data was used for the rest of the parameters.

Refueling Emissions : MO VES also allows users to calc ulate refueling emissions, the emissions created

when vehicles are refueled at service stations. Pennsylvania includes refueling emissions in its area

source inventory and not in its highway vehicle inventory. R efueling emissions are not included in the

highway emissions inventory.

Vehicle Emission Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) Parameters : MO VES allows users to vary inputs

depending on the I/M program in place for the area

. The inputs include:

 P rogram start year

.

 S tringency level

.

 F irst and last mode l years subject to the program

.

 W aiver rates

.

 Co mpliance rates

.

 P rogram type (test

- only, test

- and

- repair, etc.) and effectiveness

.

 F requency of inspection (annual, biennial)

.

 V ehicle type coverage

.

 T est type (idle, loaded, etc.)

The MOVES2010a default P ennsylvania assumptions were reviewed and modifications were made per

actual program parameters.

Environmental Variables : Evaporative emissions are influenced significantly by the temperatures of the

surrounding air. Hourly temperatures have been comp iled for each county based on information from

WeatherBank, Inc. to specify temperatures from nine airports within the state

. Ozone analysis

temperature and humidity values were determined using the procedures documented in EPA’s technical

guidance. Mini mum and maximum temperatures for each month were converted to hourly temperatures

using EPA convertors supplied with the MOVES2010a model.

A summary of the MO VES related inputs used for the inventory and future year estimates are attached

with the submiss ion.Appendix D

# SPEED/EMISSION ESTIMATION PROCEDURE

The previous sections have summarized the input data used for computing speeds and emission s for

Pennsylvania. This section explains how PPSUITE and MO VES use s that input data to produce emission

estimates . Exhibit 6 summarizes PPSUITE’s analysis procedure used for each of the RMS highway

segments in the state.

Producing an emissions inventory with PPSUITE requires a process of disaggregation and aggregation.

Data is available and used on a very small sc ale

-- individual 1⁄2 mile roadway segments 24 hours of the

day. This data needs to be processed individually to determine the distribution of vehicle hours of travel

(VHT) by speed and then aggregated by vehicle class to determine input VMT to the MOVES em ission

model.



## Volume/VMT Development

Before speeds can be calculated and MO VES run, volumes acquired from RMS must be adjusted and

disaggregated. Such adjustments include factoring to future years, seasonal adjustments, and

disaggregating daily volumes to each hour of the day and to each of the thirteen MO VES source types.

Determi ne Future Year Volumes : The RMS database contains up

- to

- date current year volumes.

However, to conduct a future year analysis, these volumes must be factored to the year being analyzed.

Growth factors have been prepared for each county and functional cla ss grouping. These growth factors

are applied to the base year RMS volumes to obtain future year estimates that can be utilized by

PPSUITE.

Example:

A typical freeway link in the RMS database is I

- 80 segment 2500 in Luzerne County,

Pennsylvania. This link has an urban/rural code=1 which indicates the link is in a rural area, and a

functional class=1 indicating a rural freeway.

The average annual da ily traffic (AADT) from the RMS database for this link in 200 8 is 12,077

vehicles/day.

Growth factors have been developed to factor the 200 8 volume to future years. For example, to

factor the 200 8 volume to the year 20 14 , a growth factor of 1.282 would y ield:

20 14 volume = 12,077 vehicles/day x 1.282 = 15,483 vehicles/dayAppendix D

### Seasonal Adjustments : PPSUITE takes the input daily volumes from RMS ( which represent s annual

average daily traffic ( AADT ) ) and seasonally adjusts the volumes to an average weekday in July. This

adjustment utilizes factors developed for each functional class and urban/rural code. VMT can then be

calculated for each link using the adjusted weekday volumes.

Example:

Again, assume the rural freeway link: I

- 80 segment 2500 in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. The

AADT for this link in 2008 is 12,077 vehicles/day.

Seasonal factors have been developed for urban/rural code and functional class combinations. For

an urban/rural code=1 and a functional class=1, the factor to convert from AADT to an average

weekday in July is = 1.15

.

Average Weekday July Volume = 12,077 x 1.15 = 13,889 vehicles/day

.

Total VMT (daily) for this link is calculated as volume x distance. The distanc e of this link as

obtained from RMS is 0.2 9 6 miles.

2008 VMT = 13,889 vehicles/day x 0.296 miles = 4,111 vehicle

- miles / day

.



### Disaggregation to 24 Hours : After seasonally adjusting the link volume, the volume is split to each hour

of the day. This allows for more accurate speed calculations (effects of congested hours) and allows

PPSUITE to prepare the hourly VMT and speeds for input to the MOVES model.

Example:

To support speed calculations and emission estimates by time of day, the July weekday volume is

disaggregated to 24 hourly volumes. Temporal patterns were previously developed from

P enn DOT count data and input to PPSUITE. For the I

- 80 rural freeway link with morning peak

volumes similar to evening peak hours (neutral), the following temp oral pattern is applied:

Using the I

- 80 segment, typical hourly volumes which result include:

8

- 9 a.m. 6.0% x (4,111 vehicle miles/ 0.296mi.) = 833 vehicles/hour (vph)

12

- 1 p.m. 5.0% x (4,111 vehicle .miles/ 0.296mi.) = 694 vph

5

- 6 p.m. 6.3% x (4,111 vehicle miles/ 0.296mi.) = 875 vphAppendix D

- 1 15



### After dividing the daily volumes to each hour of the day, PPSUITE identifies hours that are unreasonably

congested. For those hours, PPSUIT E then spreads a portion of the volume to other hours within the

same peak period, thereby approximating the “peak spreading” that normally occurs in such over

- capacity

conditions.

Disaggregation to Vehicle Type : EPA requires VMT estimates to be prep ared by source type, reflecting

specific local characteristics. As a result, for Pennsylvania’s emission inventory runs, the hourly volumes

are disaggregated to the thirteen MOVES source types based on count data assembled by P enn DOT in

combination with M OVES defaults.

Example:

Disaggregation of the total I

- 80 VMT to the various source types would include the following:

Total Volume 8

- 9 am = 833 vph

Source Type Volume 8

- 9 am:

Motorcycle 11 0.5% 4 vph

Passenger Car 21 54.7% 456 vph

Passenger Truck 31 27.9% 232 vph

Light Commercial Truck 32 9.3% 78 vph

Intercity Bus 41 0.1% 1 vph

Transit Bus 42 0.1% 1 vph

School bus 43 0.1% 1 vph

Refuse Truck 51 0.0% 0 vph

Single Unit Shor t

- haul Truck 52 2.2% 19 vph

Single Unit Long

- haul Truck 53 0.3% 2 vph

Motor Home 54 0.1% 1 vph

Combination Short

- haul Truck 61 1.9% 16 vph

Combination Long

- haul Truck 62 2.6% 22 vph



## Speed/Delay Determination

EPA recognizes that the estimation of vehicle speeds is a difficult and complex process. Because

emissions are so sensitive to speeds, it recommends special attention be given to developing reasonable

an d consistent speed estimates; it also recommends that VMT be disaggregated into subsets that have

roughly equal speed, with separate emission factors for each subset. At a minimum, speeds should be

estimated separately by road type.

The computational framework used for this analysis meets and exceeds that recommendation. Speeds are

individually calculated for each roadway segment and hour and include the delays encountered at signals.

Rather than accumulating the roadway segments in to a particular road type and calculating an average

speed, each individual link hourly speed is represented in the MOVES vehicle hours of travel (VHT) by

speed bin file. This MOVES input file allows the specificat i on of a distribution of hourly speeds.

For example, if 5% of a county’s arterial V H T operate s at 5 mph during the AM peak hour and the

remaining 95% operate s at 65 mph, this can be represented in the MOVES speed input file. For the

model runs, distributions of speeds are input to MOVES by ro ad type and source type by each hour of the

day; VMT and VHT is accumulated by the same groupings for the application of the emission factors to

produce resulting emission totals.Appendix D

- 1 16



### To calculate speeds, PPSUITE first obtains initial capacities (how much volu me the roadway can serve

before heavy congestion) and free

- flow speeds (speeds assuming no congestion) from the speed/capacity

lookup data. As described in previous sections, this data contains default roadway information indexed

by the urban/rural code a nd functional class. For areas with known characteristics, values can be directly

coded to the RMS database and the speed/capacity data can be overridden. However, for most areas

where known information is not available, the speed/capacity lookups provid e valuable default

information regarding speeds, capacities, signal characteristics, and other capacity adjustment information

used for calculating congested delays and speeds. An effort has been made to enhance the RMS data with

traffic signal locations using other GIS signal data available from PennDOT’s Bureau of Highway Safety

and Traffic Engineering.

Example:

The speed/capacity lookup table is used to obtain important data used for link speed calculations.

For the I

- 80 link with an urban/rural cod e = 1 (rural) and a functional class = 1 (freeway), the

lookup table provides information including the following:

freeflow speed = 65 mph

capacity = 1800 vph per lane

number of signals = 0 (per RMS linkage to GIS traffic signal locations)

This infor mation is used along with the physical characteristics of the roadway to calculate the

delay (including congestion) to travel this link during each hour of the day:

For example: The I

- 80 link is calculated to have a travel time, including delay of 17.76 seconds

for the 8

- 9am hour

.

Total travel time, in vehicle hours, for the 8

- 9am hour is calculated as:

VHT (8

- 9am) = 17.76 seconds x 833vph / 3600 sec/hr = 4.12 vehicle hours

.



### The result of this process is an estimated average travel time for each hour of the day for each highway

segment. The average time can be multiplied by the volume to produce vehicle hours of travel (VHT).



## HPMS and VMT Adjustments

Volumes must also be adjusted to account for differences with the HPMS VMT totals, as described

previously. VMT adjustment factors are provided as input to PPSUITE, and are applied to each of the

roadway segment volumes. These factors were developed from the latest HPMS download (conducted

triennially) ; however, they are also applied to any future year runs. The VMT added or subtracted to the

RMS database assumes the speeds calculated using the original volumes for each roadway segment for

each hour of the day.Appendix D

- 1 17 Example:

Using the Luzerne County I

- 80 rural freeway link example, the daily assigne d volume is adjusted

to account for reconciliation with the HPMS VMT. RMS VMT (in AADT) for Luzerne County

rural freeways totals 962,559 vehicle miles in 2008. HPMS VMT (in AADT) as supplied by

P enn DOT and reported to FHWA totals to 990,088 vehicle miles for the rural freeways. A factor

is developed by dividing the HPMS VMT by the RMS VMT:

HPMS adjustment factor for Luzerne County rural freeways = 990,088 / 962,559 = 1.029

.

This factor is held constant in all future years. As an example, this adjustm ent is made to the

I

- 80 freeway link VMT for the 8

- 9am hour after speed calculations are made, and produces the

final July weekday VMT for this hour used for Ozone runs.

I

- 80 Link VMT (8

- 9am) = 833vph x 0.296 miles x 1.029 = 254 vehicle miles

.



## MO VES Emissions Run

After computing speeds and aggregating VMT and VHT, PPSUITE prepares traffic

- related inputs needed

to run EPA’s MOVES software, which is used to estimate emission factors in grams of pollutant per

vehicle mile and to produce total emis sions based on input VMT to the model. The process uses

MOVES2010a, the officially released emissions model that was obtained directly from EPA.

The MOVES inputs prepared by PPSUITE include the following:

 Vehicle Type VMT

.

 Vehicle Population

.

 VMT fractions

.

 Average speed distributions

.

 Road Type Distribution

.

 Ramp Fractions

.

These files are text formatted files with a *.csv extension. The files are provided as input s within the

MOVES county data importer

. In addition the remaining MOVES input data including temperatures,

I/M programs, fuel and vehicle ages are prepared manually outside of the PPSUITE process.

The MOVES county importer is run in batch mode. This program converts all data files into the MYSQL

formats used by the MOVES model. A t that point a MOVES run specification file (*.mrs) is created

which specifie s options and key data locations for the run. MOVES is then executed in batch mode

.

MOVES can be executed using either the inventory or rate

- based approaches. For this highway

emissions inventory, MOVES is applied using the inventory

- based approach. Under this method, actual

VMT and population are provided as input s to the model ; MOVES is responsible for producing the total

emissions for the region. Under the rate

- based approa ch, MOVES would produce emission factors , after

which PPSUITE would apply the emission factors to the link data and calculate total regional emissions.Appendix D
