4.6 Data Storage and Transfer<br />

Data from the DAS will be recorded onto the laptop’s hard drive and onto flash drive <strong>for</strong><br />

temporary redundancy. Then the data will be permanently burned onto DVD media. Once the<br />

DVD burn is verified as valid, the data will remain on the hard drive and be removed from the<br />

flash drive. The data transfer will be done at predetermined intervals based on the number of<br />

data channels, sampling rate, and hours of operation. The DVDs will be pre-labeled and<br />

sequenced <strong>for</strong> installation. It is recommended that a duplicate copy of the data be burned and be<br />

periodically mailed back to Dana in pre-paid mailers to insure that the data collected is<br />

independent of the test vehicle environment.<br />

5.0 PILOT TEST SCHEDULE<br />

The schedule in Tables 5.1 through 5.3 is shown only as a guide <strong>for</strong> the driving phase of the<br />

project. The actual dates and stops will be dictated by the road team and the hours-of-service<br />

rules. They need only follow the routes as called out in Section 4.5.<br />
