Arizona Department of Transportation Information Data Warehouse Application: Evaluation of HERS/ST as a Data Source Component

摘要

This report was prepared by a team of graduate students in the Management Information Systems Department at the University of Arizona. The purpose of this project was to: determine if the Highway Economic Requirements System (HERS) analysis program is suitable for use by the Arizona Department of Transportation; if not, determine if it could be made suitable with some manageable modifications; and if no manageable modifications seem reasonably workable, recommend a path the Arizona Department of Transportation should take for achieving its asset management objectives. The team concluded that: the Highway Economic Requirements System, even when modified for the Arizona Department of Transportation environment, will not meet Transportation Infrastructure Asset Management requirements and is not a product on which to base on On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) System from either a user or an organizational viewpoint; and a model framework for an analysis that can be a start for achieving Arizona Department of Transportation asset evaluation needs is the Transportation Economic and Land Use System (TELUS).
