Archived Data Management (Subsystem*)

The Archived Data Management Subsystem (ADMS) 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 subsystem 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 subsystem prepares data products that can serve as inputs to federal, state, and local data reporting systems. This subsystem may be implemented in many different ways. It 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 for a region.

Security Considerations:

The Archived Data Management Subsystem security considerations are directly related to the sensitivity of the data contained in the archive. Some ITS archives include crash reports, personal information, and other sensitive information that requires significant security safeguards. Most archives are much less sensitive, containing bulk ITS information that is not confidential and does not require special security measures. Like confidentiality, the required availability of each archive must be considered based on the archive’s application. In many, but not all, cases, archives are used for off-line applications where short-term loss of availability will not cause serious impact to the transportation system. In many cases, the most critical objective for data archives will be data integrity. Since archives are frequently used to measure performance of the transportation system and provide data that supports operations and planning, the accuracy and reliability of the data contained in the archive is paramount. Each archive should be reviewed by the system manager and data owners to ensure that security is consistent with the sensitivity of the archived data.
