ef_usa_emfac {gtfs2emis}

Running exhaust emissions factors for buses from United States (EMFAC2017 model)

Description

Returns a vector or data.frame of emission factors for buses based on the California EMission Factor model (EMFAC2017). The model considers emission factors (EF) of urban buses in California (United States), considering different pollutants, years of reference, model year, fuel, speed ranges, type of regions, model version, and type of season. The gtfs2emis package currently supports EF only for "Statewide" region type, and "Annual" season. Specific data of these variables can be download at <https://arb.ca.gov/emfac/emissions-inventory>.

Usage

ef_usa_emfac(
  pollutant,
  reference_year = 2020,
  fuel = "D",
  model_year,
  speed,
  as_list = TRUE
)

Arguments

pollutant

character. Pollutants: "CH4" (Methane), "CO" (Carbon Monoxide), "CO2" (Carbon Dioxide), "N2O" (Nitrous Oxide), "NOx" (Oxides of Nitrogen), "PM10" (Primary Exhaust PM10 - Total), "PM25" (Primary Exhaust PM2.5 - Total), "SOX" (Oxides of Sulfur), "TOG" (Total Organic Gases), "ROG" (Reactive Organic Gases).

reference_year

numeric. Year of reference, in which the emissions inventory is estimated. Default is 2020. Values between 2015 - 2022.

fuel

character. Type of fuel: 'D' (Diesel),'G' (Gasoline), 'CNG' (Compressed Natural Gas). Default is 'D'.

model_year

Numeric; Model year of vehicle.

speed

Units. Speed in 'km/h'; Emission factor are returned in speed intervals: "5-10", "10-15", "15-20", "20-25", "25-30", "30-35", "35-40", "40-45", "45-50", "50-55", "55-60", "60-65", "65-70", "70-75", "75-80", "80-85", "85-90", ">90" mph (miles/h).

as_list

logical. If TRUE (default), the function returns the output in a list format. If FALSE, the output is returned in a data.table format.

Value

List or data.table. Emission factors in units 'g/km' by speed and model_year.
