Understanding Order Data

Orders processed through Cloud MOVES generate comprehensive emissions data for your selected county and year.

What Data is Included

Each order contains emissions data organized by:

  • Pollutants: CO2e, CO, NOx, PM, and others
  • Vehicle Types: Cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, etc.
  • Fuel Types: Gasoline, diesel, electric, CNG, etc.
  • Road Types: Rural/urban, restricted/unrestricted
  • Regulatory Classes: Light duty, medium/heavy duty, etc.
  • Metrics: Emissions, VMT (vehicle miles traveled), vehicle counts

Data Format

Order data is stored as CSV files with columns for:

  • Geographic identifiers (geoid, county, state)
  • Year
  • Pollutant codes
  • Aggregation levels (by vehicle type, fuel type, etc.)
  • Category codes (specific vehicle types, fuel types, etc.)
  • Metric values (emissions, VMT, vehicles)

Tips for Managing Orders

  1. Regular Cleanup: Delete old orders you no longer need to stay within limits
  2. Monitor Status: Check processing orders periodically to know when data is ready
  3. Use Filters: Use the search and filter features to find specific orders quickly
  4. Download Early: Download or visualize data you need before deleting orders
  5. Share Strategically: Only share orders with colleagues who need access

Common Tasks

Task 1: Check if Order is Ready

  1. Go to View Orders
  2. Look at the STATUS column
  3. If it says "Ready", your data is available
  4. If it says "Processing", wait a few more minutes and refresh

Task 2: Download Results for Analysis

  1. Find your ready order
  2. Go to Visualizer
  3. Select your order in the "SELECT CUSTOM ORDER DATA" section
  4. Explore the data with charts and maps
  5. Or use Data Hub for bulk download

Task 3: Share Results with Team

  1. Select the order you want to share
  2. Click SHARE
  3. Add team members' email addresses
  4. They'll be able to access the data
  5. Optionally, copy the bucket URL to share directly

Task 4: Clean Up Old Orders

  1. Use filters to find old orders (e.g., filter by year)
  2. Select orders you no longer need
  3. Click DELETE
  4. Confirm deletion
  5. This frees up space for new orders

Troubleshooting

Order Stuck in "Processing"

If an order has been processing for more than 15 minutes:

  1. Check the order details for any error messages
  2. Refresh the page
  3. If still processing after 20+ minutes, contact support

  1. Verify order status is "Ready" (not "Processing")
  2. Try accessing through Visualizer instead of direct download
  3. Check that you have the correct permissions
  4. Contact support if issues persist
