-----------------------------
D. METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION
-----------------------------

1. Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: The BTS PPFSP data are presented in 49 port profiles, which include numerical data in 4 to 6 multipart tables and figures, a port diagrams / and supporting written analysis and 49 port vicinity inset map. Both the port profiles and port vicinity maps are only available as Adobe Acrobat PDF files.  The BTS PPFSP data exists in two distinct versions: the raw data from multiple data sources / systems and the final performance metrics, which are analyzed. 

2. Methods for processing the data: Special tabulations are generated from the Corps water transportation information systems, including the Automatic Identification System Analysis Package (AISAP) and Channel Portfolio Tools (CPT), to produce the raw BTS PPFSP data which is aggregated in MS Excel spreadsheets and Adobe Acrobat PDFs to produce the final public version in Adobe Acrobat PDFs. A Handbook of Methods << https://www.bts.gov/sites/bts.dot.gov/files/docs/browse-statistical-products-and-data/port-performance/217686/ppfsp-handbook-methods.pdf>>, is available on the BTS PPFSP website and in the NTL digital repository ROSA P.

3. Instrument- or software-specific information needed to interpret the data: The data is only available in PDF form. An application such as Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to open and read the PDF files. Data tables must be manually copied from the PDF files by the user for further use. 


4. Describe any quality-assurance procedures performed on the data: N/A


5. People involved with sample collection, processing, analysis and/or submission: Matthew Chambers
