Transportation Energy & Mobility Pathway Options™ (TEMPO) Model

The Transportation Energy & Mobility Pathway Options™ (TEMPO) model is an all-inclusive transportation demand model that covers the entire United States. The TEMPO model explores pathway options to produce long-term scenarios that reach strategic transportation-energy-environment objectives and assess synergies with energy supply. It characterizes opportunities for existing and future fuels, technologies, and business models across transportation sub-sectors and segments.

This tool will help achieve the goal of the following objectives

Less Contamination
Less Emissions
Less Traffic Noise
Connectivity and Inclusion
Healthy Destinations
Less Traffic Violence
Active Transportation
Green Space

Estimation Technique

The estimation technique involves the estimation of the amount of greenhouse gases and air pollutant emissions released from passenger cars, light-duty, medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks, buses, trains, and other vehicles during transportation activity. The results can be compared before and after strategy implementation, which can then be used by policy analysts, planners and others interested in the effects of changes in transportation energy and mobility patterns on emissions. The TEMPO model can be used to evaluate the effects of a wide range of policies and technologies, including vehicle fuel efficiency.
