• Abstract:
  This study introduces MOVES-Matrix 4.0, an innovative high-performance implementation of MOVES 4.0.1 that generates exactly same energy and emission rate results as the Environmental Protection Agency’s latest version of MOVES 4.0.1 but allows users to deploy MOVES model in complex and dynamic analyses. The team utilized the same conceptual design used in MOVES-Matrix 2014 and MOVES-Matrix 3.0 and updated the configurations on PACE supercomputing clusters to account for the programming changes with respect to MOVES databases (e.g., migration to MariaDB) and MOVES’ algorithm updates since MOVES2014b (e.g., extended VSP/STP parameters). The MOVES-Matrix 4.0 system develops sub-matrices of energy and emission rates by executing 181,818 MOVES runs to generate more than 5.8 trillion energy and emission rates in the populated matrix for a single modeling region (represented by a unique combination of fuel specification regime and inspection and maintenance program). Performance tests demonstrate that MOVES-Matrix 4.0 produces the exact same results as MOVES4 (insignificant internal rounding errors that are less than 0.0005%). In modeling applications, generating emission rates from MOVES-Matrix is 200 times faster than running a MOVES instance. MOVES-Matrix 4.0 is ready to be used for large-scale, dynamic transportation network analyses and emissions modeling, given its open-source nature, and its compatibility with various scripting languages.
  
  The total size of the zip file is 127 MB. The .csv, Comma Separated Value, file is a simple format that is designed for a database table and supported by many applications. The .csv file is often used for moving tabular data between two different computer programs, due to its open format. The most common software used to open .csv files are Microsoft Excel and RecordEditor, (for more information on .csv files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/csv-file-extension). The Portable Document Format (PDF) file format was developed by Adobe Systems and represents two-dimensional documents in a device-independent and resolution-independent format. There are PDF readers available on many platforms, such as Xpdf, Foxit, and Adobe's own Adobe Acrobat Reader. PDF readers/viewers or online services for basic functions are generally free (for more information on .pdf files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/pdf-file-extension). The .py file extension is commonly used for files containing source code written in Python programming language. Python is a dynamic object-oriented programming language that can be used for many kinds of software development (for more information on .py files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/py-file-extension). The .docx file is a Microsoft Word file, which can be opened with Word and other free word processor programs, such as Kingsoft Writer, OpenOffice Writer, Apache OpenOffice, and ONLYOFFICE.
