Evaluation of on-road vehicle CO and NOx National Emission Inventories using an urban-scale source-oriented air quality model. Kota, S. H., Zhang, H., Chen, G., Schade, G. W., & Ying, Q. ATMOSPHERIC ENVIRONMENT, 85:99-108, PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, ENGLAND, MAR, 2014. doi abstract bibtex The MOBILE6.2 model was replaced by the Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES) in 2012 as an official tool recommended by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) to predict vehicular pollutant emission factors. In this study, on-road vehicle emission inventories of CO and NOx for Southeast Texas generated by MOVES and MOBILE6.2 in two versions of the 2005 National Emission Inventory (NEI) were studied by comparing predicted CO and NOx using the EPA's Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) Model incorporated with a source-oriented gas phase chemical mechanism with measurements made at six urban and industrial sites in Southeast Texas. The source tracing technique allows direct determination of contributions of on-road vehicles to overall CO and NOx concentrations and identification of ambient concentration measurements which are mostly impacted by vehicle emissions. By grouping the fractional bias (FB) values of the hourly predictions based on vehicle contributions to total CO or NOx concentrations, clear trends in the FB were observed, indicating systematic biases in the emission inventory for these species. Data points dominated by vehicle emissions suggest that surface CO concentrations due to vehicle exhaust are significantly over-estimated by a factor of 2 using either MOVES or MOBILE6.2. NOx concentrations are overestimated by approximately 20-35% and 70% by using the MOBILE6.2 and MOVES emissions, respectively. Emission scaling runs show that a domain-wide reduction of MOBILE6.2 CO emissions by 60% and NOx emissions by 15-25% leads to better model performance of exhaust CO and NOx concentrations in the current study.

Abstract = {{The MOBILE6.2 model was replaced by the Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator
(MOVES) in 2012 as an official tool recommended by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) to predict vehicular pollutant
emission factors. In this study, on-road vehicle emission inventories of
CO and NOx for Southeast Texas generated by MOVES and MOBILE6.2 in two
versions of the 2005 National Emission Inventory (NEI) were studied by
comparing predicted CO and NOx using the EPA's Community Multiscale Air
Quality (CMAQ) Model incorporated with a source-oriented gas phase
chemical mechanism with measurements made at six urban and industrial
sites in Southeast Texas. The source tracing technique allows direct
determination of contributions of on-road vehicles to overall CO and NOx
concentrations and identification of ambient concentration measurements
which are mostly impacted by vehicle emissions.
By grouping the fractional bias (FB) values of the hourly predictions
based on vehicle contributions to total CO or NOx concentrations, clear
trends in the FB were observed, indicating systematic biases in the
emission inventory for these species. Data points dominated by vehicle
emissions suggest that surface CO concentrations due to vehicle exhaust
are significantly over-estimated by a factor of 2 using either MOVES or
MOBILE6.2. NOx concentrations are overestimated by approximately 20-35\%
and 70\% by using the MOBILE6.2 and MOVES emissions, respectively.
Emission scaling runs show that a domain-wide reduction of MOBILE6.2 CO
emissions by 60\% and NOx emissions by 15-25\% leads to better model
performance of exhaust CO and NOx concentrations in the current study.
