Highlights ► An integrated approach for vehicle energy consumption and emissions modeling. ► Incorporating the EPA’s MOVES model and a microscopic traffic simulation package. ► A case study provides insights on applying the integrated approach. ► Electric cars effectively reduce energy consumption and SO2 and CO2 emissions.

    Abstract This paper develops an integrated model for reliable estimation of daily vehicle fuel savings and emissions using an integrated traffic emission modeling approach created by incorporating the US Environmental Protection Agency’s vehicle emission model, MOVES, and the PARAMICS microscopic traffic simulation package. A case study is conducted to validate the model using a well-calibrated road network in Greenville, South Carolina. For each transportation fuel considered, both emission and fuel consumption impacts are evaluated based on market shares.
