RBEMIS5 URBEMIS7G differed from URBEMISS in several ways First URBEMIS7G was an updated version of URBEMISS5 because it included EMFAC7G ARB s California motor vehicle emission factors model Another difference is that for the first time URBEMIS7G provided users with the ability to estimate construction and area source emissions In addition URBEMIS7G gave the user the ability to select mitigation measures for construction area source and motor vehicle emissions another option not available in previous versions And URBEMIS7G provided estimates of the emissions benefits of those mitigation measures URBEMIS7G also included a series of enhanced land use selection screens The enhancements included additional land uses updated trip generation rates trip generation rates for certain land uses based on equations included in the ITE Trip Generation Manual Version 6 0 Institute of Transportation Engineers 1996 and the option of specifying whether the project 15 located is an urban versus a rural environment Previous versions of URBEMIS did not allow for estimation of reentrained road dust URBEMIS7G estimated road dust emissions for both paved and unpaved roads URBEMIS2007 for Windows Users Guide November 2007 Version 9 2 Page 1 mS Select Air Hri 9 Pe Exetng Select Edit Constructpn cperstiona Phases Emision Mitigation Optons amp Mitigation 988 Jones amp Stokes Figure 1 URBEMIS Conceptual Flowch
