The Mobile Source Emissions Factor (MOBILE) model is a computer
model developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
for estimating emissions from on-road motor vehicles. MOBILE is
used in air-quality planning and regulation for estimating
emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds
(VOCs), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) and for predicting the effects of
emissions-reduction programs.1 Because of its important role in
air-quality management, the accuracy of MOBILE is critical.
Possible consequences of inaccurately characterizing motor-vehicle
emissions include the implementation of insufficient controls that
endanger the environment and public health or the implementation of
ineffective policies that impose excessive control costs. Billions
of dollars per year in transportation funding are linked to
air-quality attainment plans, which rely on estimates of
mobile-source emissions. Transportation infrastructure decisions
are also affected by emissions estimates from MOBILE. In response
to a request from Congress, the National Research Council
established the Committee to Review EPA's Mobile Source Emissions
Factor (MOBILE) Model in October 1998. The committee was charged to
evaluate MOBILE and to develop recommendations for improving the
model.
