Data Integration and AnalyticsPurpose
1.2. Automatedly enhance data quality, integrity, and analytics-readiness, supporting compliance, reporting, and operational efficiency for transportation agencies and public service.
1.3. Streamline integration between federal, state, and municipal transit databases through standardized automated cleansing routines for incoming, outgoing, or internal datasets.
Trigger Conditions
2.2. Scheduled synchronizations or batch ETL (Extract-Transform-Load) jobs within departmental data lakes or warehouses.
2.3. Manual or automated user actions requesting validation, such as onboarding a new dataset or system update.
2.4. Automatic anomaly detection events, such as unexpected spikes in record volume or format inconsistencies.
