Statewide Transportation Engineering Warehouse for Archived Regional Data (STEWARD)
Sponsoring Agency:
Florida Department of Transportation
Principal Investigator: Prof. Ken Courage
The Statewide Intelligent Transportation Systems (SITS) Architecture contains a central data warehouse (CDW) component in its Statewide Concept of Operations. STEWARD is being developed to met that requirement. STEWARD will collect and store statewide information from many data sources and make it available for use by different applications. It will be integrated with Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) legacy planning, traffic safety and maintenance data bases through the Enterprise Information Portal (EIP).
The University of Florida Transportation Research Center is developing a prototype for Steward that will serve as a proof of concept for a statewide CDW. This is the second phase of a two-phase research project. The first phase of the project was a feasibility study.
A stakeholder panel representing a broad range of ITS interests in Florida has been established to assist in steering the course for this project.
