From page 71...
... 71   Cloud-based platforms present a change in procurement and payment of data systems, storage, and processing for transportation agencies. Cloud services -- whether shared hardware, software, or information resources -- are provided as a metered service over the internet.
From page 72...
... 72 Application of Big Data Approaches for Traffic Incident Management This chapter provides information on the various costs of cloud environments. The costs of data sources; data storage, processing, and analysis; and data products are discussed in the context of the data environments and pipelines developed for this project.
From page 73...
... Estimated Costs of Cloud Environments and Data Pipelines 73 only. This sample is not representative of a CV dataset that would be of interest to many transportation agencies; larger geographic and time windows would be desired for most applications.
From page 74...
... 74 Application of Big Data Approaches for Traffic Incident Management cleaned up periodically, and they are removed as part of the data engineering process once the data are no longer needed. • The archived data zone stores aged, curated data that is not needed for quick and efficient query (although the data can be restored for this purpose)
From page 75...
... Use Case Storage Component Estimated Cost Range Description 1 Real-time curated $$ to $$$ -- Medium to High • The curated-data storage environment requires ongoing resources to support interaction with the data (including data queries)
From page 76...
... 76 Application of Big Data Approaches for Traffic Incident Management Use Case Component Estimated Cost Range Description 1 Data ingestion and processing $ -- Low • The processing functions included the ingestion and enhancements of the data (i.e., triggered events that performed the Collect, Snap, and Enrich functions, which prepared the data for use)
From page 77...
... Estimated Costs of Cloud Environments and Data Pipelines 77 Use Case Component Estimated Cost Range Description 1 GIS platform online and hosted layer $ -- Low • The use of a GIS platform online allowed the data to be stored and readied for immediate display on the dashboard. The platform uses a cost system based on credits.
