emission changes<br />
– Changes in operating mode distribution changes in emissions<br />
• Includes an “importer” <strong>to</strong> help users input project-specific<br />
information on driving activity<br />
– Users can enter operating mode distribution or driving pattern by link<br />
• Areas will want <strong>to</strong>ols <strong>to</strong> estimate how changing road design<br />
affects operating modes<br />
– Adding lanes<br />
– Synchronizing signals<br />
– Replacing s<strong>to</strong>p signs with rotaries<br />
