Abstract
MOBILE3, as with all of the EPA mobile source models, uses a single stringency to identify the first year failure rate of TECH I (pre-catalyst) and Tech II (oxidation catalyst) vehicles in the Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) program to be modeled. This single number most often covers a wide range of technologies and vehicle classes when applied to an I/M program which inspects many model years and all vehicle types. Unless the outpoints used are carefully balanced, the actual failure rate may vary greatly from model year to model year and vehicle class to vehicle class. This single stringency input was meant to reduce the amount of input information necessary to model an I/M scenario. It is possible for MOBILE3 to use a separate stringency for each model year of each vehicle class. The only barrier has been the need to modify the input stream and appropriate subroutines to accept and utilize user supplied information. Such modifications have been done and the results are described in this report.
