government reporting system data transfer Quintuple

Bidirectional?: True

government reporting system data transfer (A-Interconnect): This CVRIA application interconnect encapsulates all of the Layer 2 information flows between the 'Archive Government Reporting' application object and the 'Government Reporting Systems' physical object. This application interconnect is bi-directional since the underlying layer 2 information flows carry data in both directions.

Government Reporting Systems (Source Physical Object): '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.

Archived Data Center (Destination Physical Object): The 'Archived Data Center' 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 Center' 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.

Archive Government Reporting (Destination Application Object): "Archive Government Reporting" selects and formats data residing in an ITS archive to facilitate local, state, and federal government data reporting requirements.
