Sample Methodologies for Regional Emissions Analysis in Small Urban and Rural Areas

This table is from Final Facility Specific Speed Correction Factors, published in 2001 and available at http://www.epa.gov/otaq/models/mobile6/r01060.pdf. Page 3 of Final Facility Specific Speed Correction Factors states "Table 16 contains the MOBILE6 speed correction factors for freeways." Tier I Vehicles are not specifically mentioned.

Speed Correction Factors For Freeways By Emission Level*
Avg. Speed (mph) Total Hydrocarbons (THC) Carbon Monoxide (CO) Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) Non-Methane HC (NMHC)
