Buttons available under the MOVES INPUT DATA section will only become enabled after data has been completed in this part of the Wizard.

TRAQS User Guide Page 68 6.3. MOVES WIZARD – CONFIGURATION The MOVES Wizard – Configuration page contains the following options:

TRAQS User Guide Page 69 Model Settings The US EPA MOVES program is very extensive and can be setup to run in several domain scales, calculation types, and time aggregation levels. TRAQS was designed to support the following model settings:  Domain/Scale: Project Level The project scale allows the user to perform micro-scale analysis of roadway link emissions or off-network links where emissions from vehicles starts or extended idle activity occur. Project scale can be used for quantitative hot-spot analysis for CO, PM2.5, and PM10. The US EPA MOVES program also allows for other Domain/Scale options such as the National scale and the County scale which are not supported by TRAQS.  Calculation Type: Inventory TRAQS only supports the Inventory calculation type which provides emissions estimates as mass, using VMT and vehicle population entered by the user. The US EPA MOVES program supports an additional type of calculation "Emission Rates". The Emission Rates option, not supported by TRAQS, provides emission rates as mass per unit of activity.  Type of Day: Weekdays TRAQS only supports Weekdays. The US EPA MOVES program also supports weekend days. For project-level conformity analysis, the selection of Weekday is recommended.

TRAQS User Guide Page 70  Time Aggregation Level: Hour TRAQS only supports the Hour aggregation level which will calculate emissions for each hour of a day based on the specific inputs for that hour (e.g., temperature, speed distribution, etc.). The US EPA MOVES program supports other time aggregation levels such as year, month, and day, however, as noted these options are not supported in TRAQS. Geographic Bounds You must specify the State and County where your project is located.  State: Select from the drop-down list the state where the project domain is located.  County: Select from the drop-down list the county where the project domain is located. Analysis Year This is the year of the analysis and it will show the year that you selected under the New Project Wizard. However, you will be able to modify your selection in this screen. TRAQS can model calen- dar years 1990 and 1999 to 2050, inclusive. You can only model a single year per project. Users who want to model multiple calendar years will need to create multiple TRAQS projects. Analysis Type This section will show the analysis type selected under the New Project Wizard. This selection can be changed under the TRAQS Options window. MOVES Wizard - Configuration page

TRAQS User Guide Page 78 The MOVES Wizard – PDM page contains the following options: Traffic Activity Approach In MOVES, activity on roadway links can be defined by one of the available modes:  Average Speed: This approach allows the MOVES model to calculate emissions based on a default drive cycle for a given average speed, volume, grade, and road type on the specified project's link. This approach accounts for some differences in emissions due to changes in operating modes associated with different average speeds on a specific road type. In com- parison with the other approaches, this one provides the least resolution when analyzing the emission impact of a project because the default drive cycles used by the model may not ac- curately reflect the specific project. For example, a single average speed may not spatially capture localized idling and acceleration emissions due to the range of operating modes as- sociated with intersection projects.  Link Drive Schedule: This approach allows the user to define the precise speed and grade as a function of time on a particular roadway link. The time domain is entered in units of seconds, the speed variable is miles-per-hour and the grade variable in percent grade (verti- cal distance/lateral distance). Link drive schedules will only represent average vehicle activ- ity, not the full range of activity that will occur on the link. To overcome this limitation, the user can define multiple links for the same portion of the project (i.e., "overlapping" links) with separate source distributions and drive schedules to model individual vehicles.  Operating Mode: This approach allows the user to directly specify operating mode fraction data for source types, hour/day combinations, roadway links, and pollutant/process combi- nations that are included in the MOVES run specification.
