1 PORTAL: An On-Line Regional Transportation Data Archive with Transportation Systems Management Applications Casey Nolan Portland State University CUPUM Conference London, England June 30, 2005

2 2 Outline  What is PORTAL?  National ITS Architecture and Archived Data User Service (ADUS)  Describe Architecture  Describe Database Processing and Storage  Performance Measurement  Mapping and Spatial Analysis  Next Steps

3 3 Introduction Guiding Principles “Data are too valuable to only use once.” “ Management of the transportation system cannot be done without knowledge of its performance.”

4 4 Archived Data User Service (ADUS) 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

5 5 Portland Transportation Archive Listing (PORTAL) PSU Designated as Regional Archive Center  Portland State University (PSU) participates in regional ITS committee—TransPort  PSU designated as regional center for collecting, coordinating and disseminating variable sources of transportation data and derived performance measures.  Bi-state: Oregon and Washington  May expand statewide.

6 6 PORTAL Architecture Regional ITS Data Sources  98 CCTV Cameras  19 Variable Message Signs (VMS)  485 Inductive Loop Detectors  135 Ramp Meters  Weather data stations  TriMet Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) System and Bus Dispatch System (BDS)  Extensive Fiber Optics Network

7 7 PORTAL Architecture Regional ITS Data Sources  98 CCTV Cameras  19 Variable Message Signs (VMS)  485 Inductive Loop Detectors  135 Ramp Meters  Weather data stations  TriMet Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) System and Bus Dispatch System (BDS)  Extensive Fiber Optics Network

8 8 PORTAL Architecture Data Flows

9 9 Data Storage (OIT) Storage Area Networks (SANs) 1+ Terabyte of storage space Web Server (OIT): Dual Sparc Processor Sun OS Your Web Browser Disk Access via Network File System (NFS) Via NFS Send Query Get Results Database Server: Dual Sparc Processor Sun OS PORTAL Architecture Database and Web Servers  New hardware purchased with a grant from ODOT  Partnering with the PSU Office of Information Technologies

10 10 PORTAL Architecture Database and Web Servers  Database Back End  SQL relational database  200 MB per day of raw data  75 GB per year  1.2 TB 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
