8 Sustainability of Data Currency
Within the draft of the data model, elaboration of MAPDD and pilot
filling of the
data warehouse, the concept of PT network data updating was also formulated as it
is complicated due to the large number of registered entities and their attributes.
Within the KIDSOK operated area, there are more than 2,500 unique stop names
and more than 6,000 signposts; similar numbers were reached also with boarding
edges and other stop elements which need to be registered. Moreover, many
attributes and aspects need to be monitored with respect to providing information
for the handicapped. This is the most time consuming part of the work on the data
warehouse. The newly created stops, parts of stops and any spatial and organization
changes will further be monitored with the participation of several subjects (Fig.
7
).
At the moment, 20 % of the whole network in the Olomouc Region have undergone
MAPDD pilot testing and debugging. The time frame necessary to document one
latest, fully equipped stop (including all its parts) is 20 min on average. The rest
of the network will be documented in spring 2014; the data warehouse shall be
complete by autumn 2014.
Updating of the data from CIS J
(codelists of stop names, stop IDs etc.) are
contracted with CHAPS Ltd. with the period of 1 month, other up-to-date infor-
mation is acquired from the Transport Authority of the Olomouc Region (ensured
by the Department of Transport and Road Management of the Olomouc Region) or
is consulted directly with carriers. The last source of information about transport
network is represented by the towns which are usually owners or administrators of
the stops and which often provide primary information. MAPDD elaboration,
maintenance and technical support is provided by Asseco.
