10. Calculation: Speed Profile For the AM time period: PfwyVHT_AMbin_x= fwyVHT_AMbin_x/ {[SUM]fwyVHT_AM} and, PartVHT_AMbin_x= artVHT_AMbin_x/ {[SUM]artVHT_AM} and, PlocVHT_AMbin_x= locVHT_AMbin_x/ {[SUM]locVHT_AM} Repeat for midday (MD), PM peak (PM) & evening (EV) Where: PfwyVHT_AMbin_x, PartVHT_AMbin_x, andPlocVHT_AMbin_xare the percentage of VHT in speed bin “x” for freeways, arterials, and local roads respectively, fwyVHT_AMbin_x, artVHT_AMbin_xand locVHT_AMbin_xare the VHT on freeway, arterial and local road class links with operating speeds in the range of bin_x, and [SUM]fwyVHT_AM, [SUM]artVHT_AMand[SUM]locVHT_AM are the totals respectively of all freeway, arterial and local road VHT for all speed ranges. WFRC - TDM2MOVES

11. Calculation: VMT by Vehicle Type VMT_wtVeh_n= (rampVMT + fwyVMT) * mixF_n * HPMSf * AADTf_wt+ artVMT * mixA_n * HPMSa * AADTa_wt + locVMT * mixL_n * HPMSl * AADTl_wt Where: VMT_wtVeh_nis the winter VMT for vehicle type “n” (MOVES types 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60), RampVMT, fwyVMT, artVMT, and locVMTis the modeled VMT for freeways, ramps, arterials, and local roads respectively, mixF_n, mixA_n, and mixL_nis the percentage of VMT on freeways/ramps, arterials, and local roads respectively for vehicle type “n” (MOVES types 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60), HPMSf, HPMSa, HPMSlis the HPMS adjustment factor for freeways/ramps, arterials, and local roads respectively, and AADTf_wt, AADTa_wt, and AADTl_wtis the winter AADT factor for freeways/ramps, arterials, and local roads respectively. WFRC - TDM2MOVES

12. Calculation: Ramp Percentage RampPCT= rampVHT / ( rampVHT + fwyVHT) Subject to EPA Review. Where: RampPCTis the ramp VHT as a percentage of total ramp and freeway VHT, rampVHTis the VHT on ramps, and fwyVHTis the VHT on freeways. WFRC - TDM2MOVES

13. Calculation: Road Distribution Veh_nPctFwy_wt= (rampVMT + fwyVMT) * HPMSf * AADTf_wt * mixF_n / TotalVMT_wt{for veh_n} And likewise for Arterials, Locals, and Total VMT….. Where: RampVMT, fwyVMT, artVMT, and locVMTis the modeled VMT for freeways, ramps, arterials, and local roads respectively, mixF_n, mixA_n, and mixL_nis the percentage of VMT on freeways/ramps, arterials, and local roads respectively for vehicle type “n” (MOVES types 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60), HPMSf, HPMSa, HPMSlis the HPMS adjustment factor for freeways/ramps, arterials, and local roads respectively, and AADTf_wt, AADTa_wt, and AADTl_wtis the winter AADT factor for freeways/ramps, arterials, and local roads respectively.

14. IV. TDM2MOVES – methodology (continued) • Aggregate calculations • By time period • By speed bin • By facility type • By city (non-attainment only) • By county • By season (VMT & Road type) • Print Resulting Files • “MV” prefix for MOVES inputs • Year, county, season, file type • CSV format • Summary files with “lookup” index WFRC - TDM2MOVES

15. TDM2MOVES Files Created • MV_VMTxVeh_SL2030_sm.csv * • MV_Ramp_SL2030.csv • MV_Road_SL2030_sm.csv* • MV_Speed_SL2030.csv • hpmsVMTxBinS_SL2030.csv* • Summary_SL2030.csv *Note – “S” and “sm” denote summer season files.
