Project Functional Requirements (Element - Functional Object):

Traffic Data Archive - Archive Data Repository

1: The center shall collect data from centers.
11: The center shall respond to requests for archive data from archive data users (centers, field devices).
12: The center shall provide a mechanism for archive data users to request archive data by meta-data range.
13: The center shall associate meta-data with archived data, including catalog data, statistical products determined from method execution and data longevity.
2: The center shall collect data catalogs from one or more data sources. A catalog describes the data contained in the collection of archived data and may include descriptions of the schema or structure of the data, a description of the contents of the data; e.g., time range of entries, number of entries; or a sample of the data (e. g. a thumbnail).
3: The center shall store collected data in an information repository.
4: The center shall perform quality checks on collected data.
5: The center shall notify the system operator of errors related to data collection, analysis and archival.
7: The center shall provide the capability to execute methods on the incoming data such as cleansing, summarizations, aggregations, or transformations applied to the data before it is stored in the archive.
8: The center shall collect data from data distribution systems and other data sources.

Traffic Data Archive - Archive Government Reporting

1: The center shall provide archive data to federal, state, and local government reporting systems.
3: The center shall provide the capability to format data suitable for input into government reports.
4: The center shall provide the applicable meta-data for any ITS archived data to satisfy government reporting system requests. Meta-data may include attributes that describe the source and quality of the data and the conditions surrounding the collection of the data.

Traffic Data Archive - Archive On-Line Analysis and Mining

1: The center shall respond to requests for archive data from center users.
2: The center shall provide the capability to perform activities such as data mining, data fusion, summarizations, aggregations, and recreation from archive data. This may include multidimensional analysis, selective summarization and expansion of data details, and many other advanced analysis services.
3: The center shall collect regional data from data distribution centers.
4: The center shall respond to users systems requests for a catalog of the archived data analysis products available.
5: The center shall be capable of processing vehicle probe data into transportation network performance measures.
6: The center shall be capable of processing vehicle probe data to support infrastructure conditions monitoring performed by Archived Data User Systems including maintenance and construction management centers.
7: The center shall be capable of processing vehicle probe data to determine roadway environmental conditions for non operational uses such as maintenance planning and research.

Traffic Data Archive - Archive Situation Data Archival

4: The center shall collect vehicle traffic probe data for performance monitoring and analysis.
5: The center shall be capable of archiving vehicle traffic probe data.
6: The center shall provide the capability to execute methods on the incoming field data such as aggregation and statistical measures before the data is stored in the archive.
7: The center shall respond to requests from the administrator interface function to select and manage data stored in the archive.
