The document describes the development of a public dashboard by LA Metro to provide transparency into the $40 billion Measure R transportation funding program. The dashboard automates data extraction from existing project management systems and publishes key performance data on costs, schedules, and milestones in a secure and accessible online format. It was designed for ease of administration and to maintain an audit trail of published information for public accountability. The dashboard provides the public and ridership a means to track progress on high-profile transportation upgrade projects.

The use of large-scale data mining and machine learning has proliferated through the adoption of technologies such as Hadoop, with its simple programming semantics and rich and active ecosystem. This paper presents LinkedIn's Hadoop-based analytics stack, which allows data scientists and machine learning researchers to extract insights and build product features from massive amounts of data. In particular, we present our solutions to the "last mile" issues in providing a rich developer ecosystem. This includes easy ingress from and egress to online systems, and managing workflows as production processes. A key characteristic of our solution is that these distributed system concerns are completely abstracted away from researchers. For example, deploying data back into the online system is simply a 1-line Pig command that a data scientist can add to the end of their script. We also present case studies on how this ecosystem is used to solve problems ranging from recommendations to news feed updates to email digesting to descriptive analytical dashboards for our members.

Data Harvesting, Curation and Fusion Model to Support Public Service Recommen...Citadelh2020
Â
CITADEL is a H2020 European project that is creating an ecosystem of best practices, tools, and recommendations to transform Public Administrations (PAs) via an inclusive approach in order to provide stakeholders with more efficient, inclusive and citizen-centric services. The CITADEL ecosystem will allow PAs to use what they already know plus new data to implement what really matters to citizens in order to shape and co-create more efficient and inclusive public services. CITADEL innovates by using ICTs to find out why citizens stop using public services, and use this information to re-adjust provision to bring them back in. Also, it identifies why citizens are not using a given public service (due to affordability, accessibility, lack of knowledge, embarrassment, lack of interest, etc.) and, where appropriate, use this information to make public services more attractive, so they start using the services.
The DataTank, a tool designed and developed by IMECâs IDLab, will be extended to provide the Data Harvesting/Curation/Fusion (DHCF) component of the platform. The DataTank provides an open source, open data platform which not only allows publishing datasets according to standardised guidelines and taxonomies (DCAT-AP), but also transforms the data into a variety of reusable formats. The extension will include an intelligent way of harvesting and fusion of different data sources using semantics and Linked Data mapping technologies developed by IDLab. In the context of CITADEL the new HCF component will enable the visualization and analysis of trends for the usage of public services in European cities, playing a key role in generating personalized recommendations to the citizens as well as to PAs in terms of suggesting improvements to the current suite of public services.

Analysing Transportation Data with Open Source Big Data Analytic Toolsijeei-iaes
Â
Big data analytics allows a vast amount of structured and unstructured data to be effectively processed so that correlations, hidden patterns, and other useful information can be mined from the data. Several open source big data analytic tools that can perform tasks such as dimensionality reduction, feature extraction, transformation, optimization, are now available. One interesting area where such tools can provide effective solutions is transportation. Big data analytics can be used to efficiently manage transport infrastructure assets such as roads, airports, bus stations or ports. In this paper an overview of two open source big data analytic tools is first provided followed by a simple demonstration of application of these tools on transport dataset.

LA METRO MEASURE R PUBLIC DASHBOARD
Julie Owen and Rudy Ising
LA Metro and DRMcNatty and Associates
Abstract:
LA Metro identified a need to publish cost and schedule details to the general public based on real data
extracted from multiple systems, including P6, PCM, and Financial. Dashboard design needed to
automate data extraction, perform all necessary data translations, and provide a robust administration
tool to securely review data prior to publication and provide audit controls for published data.
Background:
LA Metro is the third largest public transportation system in the United States. California State Measure R
provides funding for $40 billion dollars in transportation upgrades, spread over a 30 year program period.
This will create more than half a million new jobs.
As part of Measure R requirements, there is an increased oversight and accountability required. In
addition, aggressive, accelerated schedules will account for a serious draw against current Metro
resources.
As a result, LA Metro sought out to develop a comprehensive and more efficient management system to
manage and account for the Measure R work. The systems put in place to manage these projects
provide internal and agency reporting, but does not provide a means of conveying to the general public
and Metro ridership status on these often high profile projects.
2. COLLABORATE 14 Copyright Š2014 Julie Owen and Rudy Ising Page 2Â
PMIS:
The Project Management Information System (âPMISâ) is a suite of tools developed specifically to handle
the requirements of Measure R and general Metro reporting requirements. PMIS utilizes
Oracle|Primavera P6, Oracle|Primavera Contract Management, and EcoSys integrated with LA Metro FIS
(financial) system.
Â
Figure 1ââPMIS Environment
PMIS provides a centralized repository for documents, and provides improved data accuracy, avoids the
need for managing by spreadsheet, and assists in enhancing communication by removing data silos.
Data is web-accessible and controlled by user role-based access restrictions.
Solution:
While the PMIS system facilitates internal project management, LA Metro has the need to provide the
general public and its ridership with accurate project status information via their website. Currently, the
process of reporting and collecting the information is labor-intensive, manual effort and very time
consuming.
Â
Figure 2ââDashboard Considerations
3. COLLABORATE 14 Copyright Š2014 Julie Owen and Rudy Ising Page 3Â
The solution chosen was to develop a custom dashboard interface that automates the data collection
from the varied PMIS systems, and publish this information monthly. The Dashboard design would
incorporate security provisions, full administration of the publication process, as well as historical audit
trail.
Primary PMIS software tools are currently in a hosted environment, and it was determined that hosting
this dashboard within that same environment was the most effective, and link the Metro homepage to this
site. Dashboard would include design elements to match the general Metro site for consistency of views.
Architecture:
The architecture of the dashboard includes the use of pre-built elements for speed of development. The
design is modular, to facilitate ease of design configuration. The site needed to be platform/browser
neutral, since this is a general public website, and must conform to all ADA requirements.
The data retrieval from PMIS systems was automated, and used web services. The administration of the
site was designed specifically to Metro requirements, and includes role-based security, full audit trail,
publication controls for data set reviews and also maintains a full publication history. Data security
adheres to same requirements as PMIS systems.
Â
Figure 3âSystem Architecture
Datasources include Primavera P6 (which includes general scope and status updates as well as schedule
progress) and EcoSys (which collects FIS and Contract Management data.)
At core, the dashboard uses a Mongo.db for the dashboard data. Kettle is used to extract and import
data from the PMIS systems, and the Administration component is a custom element built. Graphical web
pages use Hicharts for most charts, and javascript web components are used to display the dashboard
content without the need for java or any other program installation for the client browsers. The entire site
is contained within secured systems.
Browser neutral, and mobile accessible, the site is ADA compliant as well as compatible with Metro
website standards.
4. COLLABORATE 14 Copyright Š2014 Julie Owen and Rudy Ising Page 4Â
Design Operation:
Daily, data from PMIS systems is extracted automatically and placed in a data set. Publication takes
place monthly including the following roles: reviewer, administrator and publisher. All review participants
are notified by email of any actions required. Once all reviewers have approved the content of the data
set, the Publisher role approves the set for publication. Once published, this becomes the only set of
data visible to the general public. Prior published data sets are maintained in a historical audit trail, but
not accessible to the general public. In addition, a full audit trail of the publication process, including
review comments and status is available in a historical archive. The site Administrator role has the ability
to archive or remove data sets that were never used.
Â
Figure 4âDashboard Administration
Dashboard Design Examples:
Here are some sample screens from the dashboard.
Key components include variety of graphs, ability to print and save to PDF, color coordination with LA
Metro website, simple tabbed navigation and breadcrumbs.
Graphical elements provide pop up details when mouse hovered over an element.
Details include costs, schedule, general scope and progress, key milestones as well as maps and project
image slideshow.

Figure 10âSchedule MilestonesÂ
Conclusions:
Developing the custom dashboard involved effort and planning. It required management input as well as
input from communications group to determine the exact information and format for the dashboard. In
addition, consideration had to be made for the Project Management staff who would be responsible for
data reviews.
One lesson learned is to be clear on data requirements early on to avoid re-programming. Another
lesson learned was to keep the data input requirements simple to minimize the work effort of Project
Management staff, while maintaining the ability to publish data simply and avoid much manual efforts
previously required.
The dashboard began with one component only (Rail Projects). Future plans and considerations are to
include Measure R Highway Projects, as well as other project portfolios into the same dashboard
design/process.
