Data Business Plan Concept of Operations completed Sep 2005 Implementation Plan Data governance Information Technology Real-time operational data Risk management Knowledge management Performance measures Standards 5
The Approach We Took Concept of Operations Documents the physical infrastructure of existing data programs Identifies how data management programs fit into ADOT&PF s missions and responsibilities Provides expectations regarding needs and vision for future data programs using scenarios 6

Complements Existing State/Dept Program END RESULT A: Increase Traffic Data Program efficiency TARGET #1: Decrease the time for Headquarters to verify the previous months PTR data to 6 days MEASURE #1: Number of days for Headquarters to verify the previous month s PTR data TARGET #2: Decrease the time for each region to verify the previous month s PTR data to 14 days MEASURE #2: Number of days for each region to verify the previous month s PTR data Strategies to Achieve End Result A1: Increase field data collection device reliabiltiy TARGET #1: Increase the WIM system operational capability to 95% MEASURE #1: The percent of WIM sites that are operational each month TARGET #2: Decrease the number of days down time for each WIM site to less than 10 percent per month MEASURE #2: Number of days that each WIM site is operational each month 24

Traffic Performance Measure Setup Process Input daily, weekly, periodic data into any type of data source: Excel, Access, Oracle Summarize data by month Export file in BI software format Run metrics reports and deliver to stakeholders: Execution: manual or automated Delivery: email, html, pdf 26
Traffic Performance Measure Analysis of Results - Yearly Emerging trends Contrast to historical or larger scale data Notable highs and lows Challenges Visual progress report table, chart 27
Expand Program Deploy COGNOS instances for state, federal, and calendar years Automate metric reports Develop analysis of results Deploy remaining performance measures Integrate with Health of the Network reporting Adjust targets if exceeding 3 consecutive years, raise them Establish stakeholder feedback process Pass metrics to COGNOS dashboards Complete Data Business Implementation Plan 28
Traffic Data Performance Measures Lessons Learned Phased, iterative approach stakeholder feedback Measure, target, and focus refinement Integrate with existing business processes to limit additional work particularly true in work centers Dynamic flexible program to adjust measures and targets to meet DOT needs and programs Benefit/cost effective tool to identify progress and trends, How are we doing? 29
