DATA BASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT, MONITORING, AND ANALYSIS: A CASE STUDY

The Chicago Area Transportation Study, as metropolitan planning organization (MPO), is charged with providing its Work Program Committee and Policy Committee with feedback on the impact of the 5-year transportation improvement program (TIP) and on the region's transportation, social, and economic needs. In fulfilling this requirement it became apparent that MPOs are lacking adequate means for managing TIP data that could be very valuable to TIP development, monitoring, and analysis. Those inadequacies are described and efforts to address them through the development of a structured data base management system (DBMS) are discussed. Problems encountered are noted and the potential for future refinement of DBMSs for TIPs are suggested.
