archive analysis products Quintuple

Bidirectional?: True

archive analysis products (A-Interconnect): This CVRIA application interconnect encapsulates all of the Layer 2 information flows between the 'Archive On-Line Analysis and Mining' application object and the 'Archived Data User Systems' physical object. This application interconnect is bi-directional since the underlying layer 2 information flows carry data in both directions.

Archived Data User Systems (Source Physical Object): 'Archived Data User Systems' 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.

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 On-Line Analysis and Mining (Destination Application Object): "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.
