This consisted of reviewing succeeding variations to the model to document the basic model structure, identifying changes to existing components, and evaluating the addition of new capabilities. In addition, the impacts of model changes on fleet-average emission factor estimates were quantified under a variety of vehicle operating conditions.
The Mobile Source Emission Factor Model used to estimate the inventory of exhaust and evaporative emissions from on-road motor vehicles is currently b...
