  • Description: A Docker-based solution to run MOVES anywhere - on Windows, Mac, or Linux

Welcome!

Welcome to moves_anywhere! This software suite includes several tools to help you run the Environmental Protection Agency's [MO]{.underline}tor [V]{.underline}ehicle [E]{.underline}missions [S]{.underline}imulator (MOVES) more easily. Developed by Tim Fraser and colleagues at Gao Labs at Cornell University, moves_anywhere aims to solve several common problems for planners, engineers, and researchers who need to know how many tons of emissions are produced from on-road transportation sources in their county or state. These problems include:

  • Writing runspec.xml documents faster (a recipe for your MOVES run)

  • Running MOVES on any OS (Windows, Mac, or Linux), using a Docker container.

  • Running MOVES with custom inputs when you have some (or none) of the required custom input tables, but not all.

  • Post-processing MOVES inventory output data into the more dataviz-friendly "CAT Format", developed for Cornell's Climate Action in Transportation (CAT) team's research.

  • Uploading CAT Formatted Data to a Google Cloud SQL server using a Docker container.

  • And more!
