Project Title:   ATMS RESEARCH ANALYSIS DATABASE SYSTEM
     
Project Status:   Completed
     
Project Type:   Research & Development
     
Project Description:   The objective of this effort was to develop a means of integrating disparate traffic engineering tools through the use of a common data dictionary and database system. The set of software tools that could use this system include ATMS research software and traffic engineering analysis tools. This effort concentrated on developing the data dictionary, building a database designed around that dictionary, and modifying a small number of existing programs to use that database system.

The proposed system, the ATMS Research Analysis Database System (ATMS RADS), provides a standard data dictionary to be used for storage and retrieval of data used by ATMS and traffic engineering software. This project also uses a proof-of-concept development to demonstrate that this standard data dictionary and database system are useful to a variety of existing programs.
