Functional Requirements:

1	The center shall provide data from an ITS archive to federal, state, or local government reporting systems.
2	The center shall provide the capability to select data from an ITS archive for use in government reports.
3	The center shall provide the capability to format data from an ITS archive suitable for input into government reports.
4	The center shall support requests for ITS archived data from Government Reporting Systems.
5	The center shall provide the applicable meta-data for any ITS archived data to satisfy government reporting system requests. Meta-data may include attributes that describe the source and quality of the data and the conditions surrounding the collection of the data.

User Service Requirements (fully or partially addressed):

7.0	INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
7.1	ARCHIVED DATA FUNCTION
7.1.0	ITS 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.
7.1.5	The Archived Data Function shall provide a Data Warehouse Distribution (DWD) function as the ITS data source to support the ITS community user functions.
7.1.5.2	DWD shall include a User Data Products (UDP) function.
7.1.5.2.5	UDP shall be capable of supporting the Federal data system with user-defined data products, when the necessary data is available, to include the following systems:
7.1.5.2.5(a)	Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS)
7.1.5.2.5(b)	Truck Weight Study/VTRIS
7.1.5.2.5(c)	National Bridge Inventory
7.1.5.2.5(d)	Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS)
7.1.5.2.5(e)	Highway Safety Information System (HSIS)
7.1.5.2.5(f)	Section 15 Transit Data
7.1.5.2.5(g)	Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS)
7.1.5.2.5(h)	Hazardous Materials Incident Reporting System
7.1.5.2.5(i)	Grade Crossing Inventory System (GCIS)
7.1.5.2.5(j)	Railroad Accident/Incident Reporting System (RAIRS; grade crossing portion)
7.1.6	The Archived Data Function shall provide users with an ITS Community Interface (ICI) including all ITS users for the specification and retrieval of data products.
7.1.6.2	ICI shall manage user access and security across the interface.
7.1.6.2.2	ICI shall be capable of cleansing data to remove source privacy attributes before exporting data to users.
7.1.6.3	ICI shall provide a user-interface functionality to existing data warehouse data schema for users to define their data products.
7.1.6.3.1	The user-interface shall permit users to define access to multiple databases as data sources for their data products.
