Abstract
MOREIRA, João Mendes and SOUSA, Jorge Freire de. Applying data warehousing technology to support planning and control on mass transit companies. Inv. Op. [online]. 2006, vol.26, n.1, pp.23-43. ISSN 0874-5161.
This paper describes the methodology used in the construction of a Data Warehousing project to support planning and control on mass transit companies. The data sources used were the ones from the GIST98/EUROBUS system - a computer application for supporting operational planning in public transport companies. Firstly, the main Data Warehousing concepts and definitions are introduced. After the problem description and a brief analysis of different Data Warehousing methodologies, the analysis and development phases of the Data Warehousing project are presented. Finally, in the conclusions, the main advantages to implement such a system in the situation described are emphasized.
