5.2.3. Run MOVES Model

5.2.3.1. Overview
5.2.3.2. MOVES importer script
5.2.3.3. MOVES Runspec batch script

5.2.3.1. Overview

Automatically execute multiple MOVES runs based on automatically generated county-specific data importer script and the MOVES run script file by Runspec_generator.pl, which specifies the characteristic of the particular scenario to be modeled.

5.2.3.2. MOVES importer script

5.2.3.2.1. Description

The MOVES importer script “importer.[bat|csh]” can be written in Linux C-shell or Windows Batch script format depending on which option is chosen by the user in the Runspec_generator.pl. The importer script loads the county-specific data in the file and creates the MySQL input database containing local data for the reference county.

The output of the MOVES batch importer script includes:

  • MySQL databases (*_in).

5.2.3.2.2. Processing Order

importer.csh should be run before runspec.csh. The importer.csh is written in Linux c-shell script format.

The importer.csh uses following steps:

  1. The importer.csh contains all of the user selections needed to import data from the files into a MySQL MOVES database

  2. Imports the data for each of the three different emissions processes: RPD, RPV, RPP.

  3. Review log file of the MOVES, called importlog_*.txt.

5.2.3.2.3. Files, Environment Variables, and Run Syntax
5.2.3.2.3.1. Input Files
File Name Format Description
RV_[CountyRep]_[yearID]_[monthID]_[TempBin]_imp.xml XML file specifies the zonemonthhour (*zmh.csv) files and other files that will be imported to MOVES for the Rate Per Vehicle Mode, note: TempBin varies, in 5 degree increments to cover the Temperature Range ie. [TempBin] = T10, T15,.. T105 for the temperature range [TempRange]= T10_105
RP_[CountyRep]_[yearID]_[monthID]_[MetProfID]_imp.xml XML file specifies the zonemonthhour (*zmh.csv) files that will be imported to MOVES for the Rate Per Process Mode
RD_[CountyRep]_[yearID]_[monthID]_[TempRange]_imp.xml XML importer file specifies the zonemonthhour (*zmh.csv) files that will be imported to MOVES for Rate Per Distance Mode

RV_[CountyRep]_[yearID]_[monthID]_[TempBin]_in MySQL MOVES MySQL Database RPV Table(*_in)

5.2.3.3. MOVES Runspec batch script

5.2.3.3.1. Description

The MOVES Runspec batch script file “runspec.csh” is used to execute the MOVES runs for the reference county and reference fuel month.

The output directories are named according to the following naming convention: [CountyRep]_[monthID]_[YearID]_[PollutantID], ie. 13121_Apr_2009_ozone

The output files include:

  • rateperdistance.[frm|MYD|MYI]

  • ratepervehicle.[frm|MYD|MYI]

  • rateperprofile.[frm|MYD|MYI]

5.2.3.3.2. Processing Order

runspec.csh is created by Runspec_generator.pl and should be run after importer.csh and before moves2smkEF.pl. The runspec.csh is written in Linux c-shell script format depending on which platform is being used (this option is specified by the user in the Runspec_generator.pl) the script is used to run MOVES for the appropriate temperature bins, source types, and poluutants.

The runspec.csh uses following steps:

  1. The runspec.csh contains all of the user selections needed to run MOVES using the imported MySQL MOVES databases that were created by importer.csh

  2. Creates the MOVES output in ASCII format and also provides the associated XML files for the three different emissions processes: RPD, RPV, RPP.

  3. Review log file of the MOVES, called runlog_*.txt.

Note: these output files are placed in separate directories for each reference county, fuel month and pollutant. Example: .../outputs/mysql/13121_Jan_2009_ozone
