1 State of the Practice for ITS Data Archiving: Regional Data Archive and Performance Measures Robert L. Bertini Portland State University North American Travel Monitoring Exhibition & Conference San Diego, California  June 30, 2004

2 2 Objectives  Introduction to Data Archiving Project  National ITS Architecture and ADUS  Introduce Portland Regional ADUS  Describe Architecture  Describe Database Processing and Storage  Data Analysis and Visualization  Conclusions and Next Steps

3 3 Introduction Guiding Principles “Data are too valuable to only use once.”

4 4 Introduction Guiding Principles “ Management of the transportation system cannot be done without knowledge of its performance.”

5 5 National ITS Architecture Major Components  Travel and Traffic Management  Public Transportation Management  Electronic Payment  Commercial Vehicles Operations  Emergency Management  Advanced Vehicle Safety Systems  Information Management  Maintenance and Construction Management

6 6 Overview: Relational Diagram of ITS Architecture Source: Guidelines for Developing ITS Data Archiving Systems

7 7 Archived Data User Service (ADUS) is Born ITS Architecture 1999  USDOT Vision for ADUS: “Improve transportation decisions through the archiving and sharing of ITS generated data.”  Principles of ADUS to Achieve Vision  All ITS deployments should consider data archiving  Archive data to maximize integration with other data sources and systems  Archive data in a way that eases retrieval for those with access  Provide information that is integral to transportation practice

8 8 Archived Data User Service (ADUS) is Born ADUS Standards  Operational Data Control: by managing operations data integrity  Data Import and Verification: through historical data  Automatic Data Historical Archive: with a permanent data archive  Data Warehouse Distribution: which integrates the planning, safety, operations and research communities and processes data for these communities  ITS Community Interface: by providing a common interface to all ITS users for data products specification and retrieval

9 9 Who Can Use Archived ITS Data Stakeholders  Transportation Planning  Transportation System Monitoring  Air Quality Analysis  MPO/State Freight and Intermodal Planning  Land Use/Growth Management Planning  Transportation Administrators and Policy Analysis  Traffic Management  Transit Management  Construction and Maintenance  Safety Planning and Administration  Commercial Vehicle Operations  Emergency Management  Transportation Research  Private Sector

11 11 ADUS Architecture: Implementing a Successful Data Archive A Few Examples of Existing Systems  California PeMS - only statewide system  Puget Sound (WSDOT/TRAC) - started small and successfully expanded  San Antonio, TX TransGuide, Datalink system Lessons Learned from Existing Systems  Begin with a single data source  Provide data through the web or CD subscription  Create a user friendly interface  Save raw data  Make aggregate data available to users  Implement data quality control measures  Create adequate documentation of system and metadata

12 12 Portland ADUS PSU Designated Regional Archive Center

13 13 Portland ADUS PSU Designated Regional Archive Center  Through regional cooperation, Portland State University is the regional center for collecting, coordinating and disseminating variable sources of transportation data and derived performance measures.  Portland ITS data will be warehoused at their most raw level.  A user interface for extracting relevant performance measures in real time and historical data is being implemented.

14 14 Portland ADUS Data Sources  Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT)  Freeway loop detector data  Incident data  National Oceanic and Atmospheric  Administration (NOAA)  Weather data  Portland Metropolitan Transit Agency (Tri-Met)  Automatic vehicle location (AVL) poll data  Bus dispatch system (BDS) data  City of Portland  Traffic signal count/speed data  Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT)  ODOT Weigh-in-motion data

15 15 Portland ADUS Portland Regional Infrastructure  77 CCTV Cameras  18 Variable Message Signs (VMS)  436 Inductive Loop Detectors  118 Ramp Meters  TriMet Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) System and Bus Dispatch System (BDS)  Extensive Fiber Optics Network

17 17 Portland ADUS Architecture Data Flows

18 18 Portland ADUS Architecture Database Back End/ Web Front End  Database Back End  SQL relational database  200 MB per day of raw data  75 GB per year  High capacity disk array  5 MB compressed for download  Off-site backup server  Daily backups  Uninterruptible power  Web-based interface  Easily accessible  User-friendly  PHP language

19 Database Processing and Storage Web Interface is Up and Running

20 20 Database Processing and Storage  Data Fidelity  Loop health analysis  Proven techniques to prevent propagation of error  Aggregation Levels  Raw 20-second loop detector data collected  Useful for research  Large data sets  Previously difficult to manage and organize  High resolution aggregates  5 and 15 minute aggregates  Flow, speed and occupancy characteristics retained  VMT, VHT, travel time, delay added  Useful for research and planning purposes  Lower resolutions aggregates  Hourly or Daily  VMT, VHT, travel time, delay  Increased processing speed for long term overviews

22 Data Analysis and Visualization Time Series Plots

23 Data Analysis and Visualization Data Fidelity

24 24 Next Steps Expanding Archive Functionality  Data from:  TriMet  Washington State DOT  City of Portland  ODOT WIM Data  Additional processing tools and performance measures
