DM02: Performance Monitoring

The Performance Monitoring service package uses information collected from detectors and sensors, connected vehicles, and operational data feeds from centers to support performance monitoring and other uses of historical data including transportation planning, condition monitoring, safety analyses, and research. The information may be probe data information obtained from vehicles in the network to determine network performance measures such as speed and travel times, or it may be information collected from the vehicles and processed by the infrastructure, e.g. environmental data and infrastructure conditions monitoring data. Additional data are collected including accident data, road condition data, road closures and other operational decisions to provide context for measured transportation performance and additional safety and mobility-related measures. More complex performance measures may be derived from the collected data.

Physical Object Class Description
Archived Data Administrator Support 'Archived Data Administrator' represents the human operator who provides overall data management, administration, and monitoring duties for the ITS data archive. Unlike the manager of the operational databases, the archive data administrator's role is focused on the archive and covers areas such as establishing user authentication controls, monitoring data quality, and initiating data import requests.
Archived Data System Support The 'Archived Data System' collects, archives, manages, and distributes data generated from ITS sources for use in transportation administration, policy evaluation, safety, planning, performance monitoring, program assessment, operations, and research applications. The data received is formatted and tagged with attributes that define the data source, conditions under which it was collected, data transformations, and other information (i.e. meta data) necessary to interpret the data. The archive can fuse ITS generated data with data from non-ITS sources and other archives to generate information products utilizing data from multiple functional areas, modes, and jurisdictions. The archive prepares data products that can serve as inputs to federal, state, and local data reporting systems. The 'Archived Data System' may reside within an operational center and provide focused access to a particular agency's data archives. Alternatively, it may operate as a distinct center that collects data from multiple agencies and sources and provides a general data warehouse service.
Archived Data User System Center 'Archived Data User System' represents the systems users employ to access archived data. The general interface provided allows a broad range of users (e.g. planners, researchers, analysts, operators) and their systems (e.g. databases, models, analytical tools, user interface devices) to acquire data and analyses results from the archive.
Government Reporting Systems Center 'Government Reporting Systems' represents the system and associated personnel that prepare the inputs to support the various local, state, and federal government transportation data reporting requirements (e.g. Highway Performance Monitoring System, Fatality Analysis Reporting System) using data collected by ITS systems. It represents a system interface that provides access to the archived data relevant to these reports. In most cases, this system will combine data collected from ITS archives with data from non-ITS sources to assemble the required information.
Other Archived Data Systems Support 'Other Archived Data Systems' represents distributed archived data systems whose data can be accessed and shared with a local archive. The interface with the Archived Data System allows data from multiple archives to be accessed on demand or imported and consolidated into a single repository.

Includes Functional Objects:

Functional Object Description Physical Object
Archive Data Repository 'Archive Data Repository' collects data and data catalogs from one or more data sources and stores the data in a focused repository that is suited to a particular set of ITS data users. It includes capabilities for performing quality checks on the incoming data, error notification, and archive to archive coordination. It includes the capability to define a data registry that allows registration of data identifiers or data definitions for interoperable use throughout a region. It supports a broad range of implementations, ranging from simple data marts that collect a focused set of data and serve a particular user community to large-scale data warehouses that collect, integrate, and summarize transportation data from multiple sources and serve a broad array of users within a region. Repositories may be established to support operations planning, performance monitoring and management, and policy and investment decisions. Archived Data System
Archive Government Reporting 'Archive Government Reporting' selects and formats data residing in an ITS archive to facilitate local, state, and federal government data reporting requirements. It provides transportation system statistics and performance measures in required formats to support investment and policy decisions. Archived Data System
Archive On-Line Analysis and Mining 'Archive On-Line Analysis and Mining' provides advanced data analysis, summarization, and mining features that facilitate discovery of information, patterns, and correlations in large data sets. Multidimensional analysis, selective summarization and expansion of data details, and many other advanced analysis services may be offered. Complex performance measures that are derived from multiple data sources may also be produced. Archived Data System
Archive Situation Data Archival 'Archive Situation Data Archival' collects and archives traffic, roadway, and environmental information for use in off-line planning, research, and analysis. It controls and collects information directly from equipment at the roadside, reflecting the deployment of traffic detectors that are used primarily for traffic monitoring and planning purposes, rather than for traffic management. It also collects situation data from connected vehicles. The data collected, quality checks performed, and aggregation strategies are defined to support transportation system performance monitoring and management. Archived Data System

Data to be used as the basis for published reports probably does not need obfuscation. The cost of exposing this data is minimal, as it presumably should be publicly accessible through some means. Given that the data will be used to produce public reports upon which policy may be enacted, its accuracy is critically important, as any misrepresentation could lead to public distrust or decisions based on incorrect data.

Implementations



DM02.1 Automated Traffic Signal Performance Measures (ATSPM) Implementation

Share current traffic data and traffic control system status for signalized intersections, providing query-based reporting for a range of traffic signal performance metrics for a range of selected locations and timeframes. See also the DM01 'Traffic Data Mart' implementation for the associated traffic data collection implementation that collects the data that is reported by this implementation. Together, the DM01 and DM02 implementations for ATSPM cover a complete ATSPM application that includes raw data collection through query-based distribution of filtered results to end users. (Note this implementation includes the entire SP and practically speaking, would allow someone searching ATSPM on our site or in the tools to find SP implementations for DM01 and DM02. This could be done instead of, or in addition to, our traditional approach of putting popular names for our SPs in the base SP descriptions.)
