On-Line Analysis and Mining Equipment Package

Architecture Geographic Scope

Description:

Advanced data analysis and mining features to support discovery of information, patterns, and correlations in large ITS archives.

 

Included in:

Sherman-Denison MPO Archive

Functional Requirements:

1The center shall support the interface with Archive Data User Systems for requests for analysis of the archive data.
2The center shall provide the capability to perform activities such as data mining, data fusion, summarizations, aggregations, and recreation from archive data. This may include multidimensional analysis, selective summarization and expansion of data details, and many other advanced analysis services.
3The center shall receive the user’s systems requests and develop the request to retrieve the data from the archive.
4The center shall respond to users systems requests for a catalog of the archived data analysis products available.
5For archive analysis and data mining products requiring financial payment the center shall process the financial requests and manage an interface to a Financial Institution.
  

User Service Requirements (fully or partially addressed):

7.0INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
7.1ARCHIVED DATA FUNCTION
7.1.0ITS shall provide an Archived Data Function to control the archiving and distribution of ITS data. The Archived Data User Service provides the Historical Data Archive Repositories and controls the archiving functionality for all ITS data with five major functions: 1) the Operational Data Control function to manage operations data integrity; 2) the Data Import and Verification function to acquire historical data from the Operational Data Control function; 3) the Automatic Data Historical Archive function for permanently archiving the data; 4) the Data Warehouse Distribution function, which integrates the planning, safety, operations, and research communities into ITS and processes data products for these communities; and 5) the ITS Community Interface which provides the ITS common interface to all ITS users for data products specification and retrieval. ADUS helps achieve the ITS information goal of unambiguous interchange and reuse of data and information throughout all functional areas.
7.1.1.4.1HDA shall be capable of employing security solutions.
7.1.1.4.3HDA shall be capable of preventing unauthorized access to ITS data repositories
7.1.1.4.4HDA shall be capable of providing a secure interface for online support of the ITS user interface.
7.1.1.5HDA shall be capable of supporting online analytical functions to enable users to analyze data across multiple sources or acquire data for their off-line applications.
7.1.2The Archived Data Function shall include an Operational Data Control (ODC) function to ensure integrity of operational data as received from field equipment or data collection devices.
7.1.2.6ODC shall be capable of performing data fusion on replicated data for operational users in near real-time.
7.1.3.7DIV shall be capable of performing pre-defined data fusion on imported data near real-time.
7.1.4.4ADHA shall be capable of supporting user-specified data archiving procedures as follows:
7.1.5The Archived Data Function shall provide a Data Warehouse Distribution (DWD) function as the ITS data source to support the ITS community user functions.
7.1.5.1DWD shall be capable of supporting the generation of data products for the following transportation agencies:
7.1.5.1(a)Planning
7.1.5.1(b)Operations
7.1.5.1(c)Safety
7.1.5.1(d)Research
7.1.5.2DWD shall include a User Data Products (UDP) function.
7.1.5.2.1UDP shall provide an online analytical functionality to generate pre-defined data products for ITS users, to include:
7.1.5.2.1(a)Reports
7.1.5.2.1(b)Analyses
7.1.5.2.1(c)Aggregations or summaries.
7.1.5.2.1(d)User defined archiving of data concepts.
7.1.5.2.3UDP shall be capable of providing user defined data mining functions on ITS data sources.
7.1.5.2.4UDP shall be capable of performing user defined data fusion functions on data extracted from ITS Archives.
7.1.6The Archived Data Function shall provide users with an ITS Community Interface (ICI) including all ITS users for the specification and retrieval of data products.
7.1.6.1ICI shall be the common data interface for all ITS users to access the ITS Data Archives.
7.1.6.1.1ICI shall provide users' systems with the data interface functionality.
7.1.6.2ICI shall manage user access and security across the interface.
7.1.6.2.2ICI shall be capable of cleansing data to remove source privacy attributes before exporting data to users.
7.1.6.3ICI shall provide a user-interface functionality to existing data warehouse data schema for users to define their data products.
7.1.6.3.1The user-interface shall permit users to define access to multiple databases as data sources for their data products.
7.1.6.3.2The user-interface shall permit users to select online analytical functions to produce their data products.
7.1.6.3.3The user-interface shall permit the user to view sample data products.
7.1.6.4ICI shall provide the user interface for ITS Transportation Agencies.
7.1.6.4.1Transportation agencies shall include the following planning functions:
7.1.6.4.1(a)Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) and State Transportation Planning
7.1.6.4.1(b)Transportation System Monitoring
7.1.6.4.1(c)Air Quality Analysis
7.1.6.4.1(d)MPO/State Freight and Intermodal Planning
7.1.6.4.1(e)Land Use Regulation and Growth Management
7.1.6.4.1(f)Transportation Administration and Policy Analysis.
7.1.6.4.1(g)Transit Planning
7.1.6.4.2Transportation agencies shall include the following ITS Operations functions:
7.1.6.4.2(a)Traffic Management.
7.1.6.4.2(b)Transit Management.
7.1.6.4.2(c)Construction and Maintenance.
7.1.6.4.2(d)The Private Sector.
7.1.6.4.3Transportation functions shall include the following safety agencies:
7.1.6.4.3(a)Safety Planning and Administration.
7.1.6.4.3(b)Commercial Vehicle Operations.
7.1.6.4.3(c)Emergency Management.
7.1.6.4.4Transportation agencies shall include research agencies.
