Need for MOVES2010Need for MOVES2010

Legislative Report – Land Use and Planning Resources

Air Quality Assessment Tool – initially focused on GHG

◦Drove need for immediate implementation of MOVES2010 based on available data

Items to be CoveredItems to be Covered

County Level Emissions

◦MOVES2010a Start-up

◦Setting up Run Specifications using the MOVES2010a GUI

◦Using the County Data Manager and Developing Local Inputs

◦Not going to cover software installation

GlossaryGlossary

RunSpec – Run Specification ◦ created by MOVES2010a with selected inputs and

parameters - saved with a .mrs extension◦ Allows subsequent identical runs◦ Allows other runs with slight changes◦ Allows batch file runs

Naming – should include county, year and at least one additional descriptive piece.

CDM – County Data Manager

Population - Vehicles

GlossaryGlossary

◦Road Types –◦ 1 = Off-Network◦ 2 = Rural Restricted Access◦ 3 = Rural Unrestricted Access◦ 4 = Urban Restricted Access◦ 5 = Urban Unrestricted Access

◦Source Types (Vehicle Classes) –◦ 11 = Motorcycle◦ 21 = Passenger Car◦ 31 = Passenger Truck◦ Etc.

Now leaving the MOVES Master GUI and entering the County Data Manager (CDM)

o While you are in the CDM, the MOVES Master GUI is locked

o CDM –tool to import data into a county database

o Data is not entered directly into the CDM, but in Excel and then imported.

CDM can create templates or export default data (for some inputs)

o This provides the proper format to work from

o If you want to use the default data, you need to export it and then import it.

o Imported data can be cleared tab by tab or for all tabs at once
