MOVES4.0.1 is a patch to MOVES4. It is not considered a new model for state implementation plan (SIP) and transportation conformity regulatory purposes. This update does not substantially change onroad criteria pollutant emission rates in MOVES4 at the County or Project scales, and it is not considered a new model for State Implementation Plan (SIP) and transportation conformity regulatory purposes.

MOVES4.0.1 includes the following updates:

• We made it possible to input local vehicle population and vehicle miles travelled (VMT) when using the Default Scale. This change should help those modeling GHG emissions with the Default Scale (#63).
• We added a new nonroad post-processing script that generates gram per hour emission factors by source classification code (SCC) and model year (#65).
• We added a button to open the AVFT Tool from within the County Database Manager "Fuel" tab (#65).
• We improved the documentation and functionality of the script that checks MOVES submissions for use in the National Emission Inventory (NEI) (#65)
• We added a check to most user inputs that flags importing "null" values as an error (#64)
• We added two new command line tools currently in beta development:
  • The MOVES Output Grouper, which can be useful when running MOVES in a parallel computing environment. For background and information on how to use the tool, see the MOVESOutputGrouper documentation.
  • The Operating Mode Distribution Calculator, which replicates MOVES default scale VMT and SHO calculations but saves the results at a greater level of detail, including by average speed bin and operating mode. For background and information on how to use the tool, see the OpModeDistCalc documentation.
• In addition, we fixed several errors:
  • We fixed two errors in the onroad speciation profile post-processing scripts (#62).
  • We resolved a problem with temporal pre-aggregation at County Scale in runs that did not include passenger cars (#60).
  • We resolved an error that prevented running multiple counties at Default Scale (#58).
  • We removed an irrelevant error message at Project Scale (#65).
