AIR QUALITY MANUAL: VOL II MOTOR VEHICLE EMISSION FACTORS FOR ESTIMATES OF HIGHWAY IMPACT ON AIR QUALITY

HIGHWAY ENGINEERS MUST PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE ENHANCEMENT AND PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT. THEY WILL HAVE TO CONSIDER A VARIETY OF FACTORS IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF ANY HIGHWAY PROJECT AND COMPLETE A NUMBER OF STUDIES PRIOR TO WRITING AN IMPACT STATEMENT. ONE OF THESE STUDIES IS CONCERNED WITH THE GATHERING OF FIELD DATA, ANALYSIS OF SUCH DATA, AND WRITING AN AIR QUALITY REPORT. AS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THAT STUDY THIS MANUAL REPORTS ON THE EMISSION FACTORS WHICH ARE MOST REPRESENTATIVE OF VEHICLES USING FREEWAYS, LOCAL ROADS AND STREETS. THE EMISSION FACTORS TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE VEHICLE DETERIORATION FACTORS, MODEL YEAR, ANNUAL MILEAGE TRAVELED, AND AVERAGE ROUTE SPEED. THE DEVELOPED EMISSION FACTORS ARE BASED ON THE BEST DATA CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. /FHWA/
