State Universities Data Archives
Status: Existing
Description
Arizona Universities participate in various ITS projects. This ITS element reflects their transportation data archive database. Other examples include: UofA, ATLAS Center is involved in the SmartDrive – Connected Vehicle (formerly VII) effort involving on–board emergency response vehicles communicating with roadside equipment to cut down on crashes and support traffic incident management initiatives.
University of Arizona Tucson has been involved in ITS research with collision avoidance systems, testing on–board RADAR and tracking systems and Real–time Hierarchically Optimized Distributed Effective Signal system (RHODES) and other ITS throughout decades.

Functional Objects
| Functional Object | Description | User Defined |
|---|
| Archive Data Repository | 'Archive Data Repository' collects data and data catalogs from one or more data sources and stores the data in a focused repository that is suited to a particular set of ITS data users. It includes capabilities for performing quality checks on the incoming data, error notification, and archive to archive coordination. It includes the capability to define a data registry that allows registration of data identifiers or data definitions for interoperable use throughout a region. It supports a broad range of implementations, ranging from simple data marts that collect a focused set of data and serve a particular user community to large–scale data warehouses that collect, integrate, and summarize transportation data from multiple sources and serve a broad array of users within a region. Repositories may be established to support operations planning, performance monitoring and management, and policy and investment decisions. | False |
|---|
| Archive Government Reporting | 'Archive Government Reporting' selects and formats data residing in an ITS archive to facilitate local, state, and federal government data reporting requirements. It provides transportation system statistics and performance measures in required formats to support investment and policy decisions. | False |
|---|
| Archive Situation Data Archival | 'Archive Situation Data Archival' collects and archives traffic, roadway, and environmental information for use in off–line planning, research, and analysis. It controls and collects information directly from equipment at the roadside, reflecting the deployment of traffic detectors that are used primarily for traffic monitoring and planning purposes, rather than for traffic management. It also collects situation data from connected vehicles. The data collected, quality checks performed, and aggregation strategies are defined to support transportation system performance monitoring and management. | False |
