AERIS: State of-the-Practice Scan of Environmental Models
This report has been developed under the Track 1 effort of Phase 1 of the Applications for the Environment: Real-Time Information Synthesis (AERIS) program and presents the findings of the state-of-the-practice scan of environmental models to estimate environmental impacts (emissions, fuel consumption, etc.) due to changes in traveler behavior and trip choices in response to implementation of intelligent transportation system (ITS) strategies. Several environmental models were examined to determine the sensitivity and validity of these models in estimating emissions impacts of ITS strategies. The report includes a detailed assessment of the suitability of Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES), Comprehensive Modal Emission Model (CMEM) and EMission FACtor (EMFAC) emissions models in evaluating emissions impacts of ITS strategies.
