TransLink Information Database Requirements (0-2988-2F)

One aspect of the TransLink, research program is to have a laboratory where the ITS architecture and technologies can be explored, integrated, demonstrated, and showcased. An integral part of this laboratory is a data warehouse where historical and real-time data can reside. This report examines the best method for managing this data. After a brief introduction, a listing of some of the various types of data that could be seen as a result of the Intelligent Transportation Infrastructure (ITI) is presented. The report then proceeds to examine the best method to handle those data needs. Recommendations to accomplish the data management needs consist of the implementation of an Oracle database. The report concludes with a chapter on implementation, which describes the efforts under way to accomplish the goal of this task of the research program.
