Most ITS systems were designed by using a transactional database design, which is not well suited to support the ad hoc queries required by ADUS. Research investigated the application of data-warehousing concepts to better support the requirements of ADUS. A case study is presented in which an ADUS for the Hampton Roads Smart Traffic Center, the regional freeway management system, was redesigned from a transactional approach to one based on data warehousing. Test queries run by using both approaches demonstrated that dramatic increases in efficiency are achievable through the use of data-warehousing concepts in ADUS.
