B. Problem Description
MonCity is one of the largest smart cities in the world, and was developed by Monash University
for education and research purposes. In MonCity, there are four different zone areas (ZoneA,
ZoneB, ZoneC, ZoneD). A wide range of self-driving cars is provided for Monash students and
staff members to travel between different zone areas or within the same zone area.
MonCity has an existing operational database that maintains and stores all of the self-driving
car-related information, such as the booking, maintenance, and accident records required for
management's daily operation. However, in order to improve work efficiency, management at
MonCity has decided to hire your team of data warehouse engineers to design and develop a data
warehouse that can quickly generate reports based on their needs. Management at MonCity wants
to generate reports to keep track of the bookings, accidents and maintenance information, such
as calculating statistics of booking records and accident records, which can be used for
1
FIT3003 Major Assignment - Semester 2, 2022
self-driving car analyses later. For the accident details, they are particularly interested in the
number of accidents per self-driving car (e.g., the number of accidents caused by Car01).
MonCity’s operational database tables can be found in the MonCity account. You can, for
example, execute the following query:
Select * From MonCity.;
The data definition of each table in MonCity is as follows:

C. Tasks
The assignment is divided into FIVE main tasks:
1. Design a data warehouse for the above MonCity database.
You are required to create a data warehouse for the MonCity database. The
management is interested in the following fact measures:
● Number of booking records
● Total maintenance cost
● Number of maintenance records
● Number of accident records
The following are some possible dimension attributes that you may need in your data
warehouse:
● Booking time period: by month
● Faculty
● Passenger age group: Young adults (18-35 years old); middle-aged
adults (36-59 years old); old-aged adults (over 60 years old)
4
FIT3003 Major Assignment - Semester 2, 2022
● Car body type (including number of seats)
● Research centre
● Maintenance type
● Accident Zone (based on accident zone in the ACCIDENTINFO table)
● Error code
● Car damage severity
For each attribute, you may apply your own design decisions on specifying a range or
group where this is not already detailed above, but make sure to specify them in your
submission.
- Preparation stage.
Before you start designing the data warehouse, you have to ensure that you have
explored the operational database and have done sufficient data cleaning. Once you
have done the data cleaning process, you are required to explain what strategies you
have taken to explore and clean the data
The outputs of this task are:
a) The E/R diagram of the operational database.
b) If you have done the data cleaning process, explain the strategies you used in this
process (you need to show the SQL to explore the operational database and SQL
of the data cleaning, as well as the screenshot of data before and after data
cleaning).
- Designing the data warehouse by drawing star/snowflake schema.
The star schema for this data warehouse may contain multi-fact(s). You need to
identify the fact measures, dimensions, and attributes of the star/snowflake schema.
The following queries might help you to identify the fact measures and dimensions:
● How many booking records were made by passengers from the IT faculty in
July by using bus?
● How many booking records were made by each passenger age group?
● How many maintenance records were listed that include at least one
maintenance team from research centre 4 (CE04)?
● List the total maintenance cost of each maintenance type for mini bus.
● How many accidents were recorded in the ZoneA for Car01?
● List the number of accidents for each error code at ZoneB for Car06.
● List the number of accidents with severe damage inflicted on Car05.
5
FIT3003 Major Assignment - Semester 2, 2022
You should pay attention to the granularity of your fact tables. You are required to
create two versions of star/snowflake schemas based on different levels of
aggregation. Version-1 should be in the highest level of aggregation. Version-2 should
be in level 0, which means it contains no aggregation.
Version Name Level
Version-1 High aggregation
Version-2 No aggregation (Level 0)
The star/snowflake schema of both versions you created might contain bridge tables,
determinant dimensions, and/or temporal dimensions. If you are using bridge
tables, make sure to include the weight factor and list aggregate attributes. If you are
using determinant dimensions, make sure the correct notation has been used (broken
lines for the table boundary) and you must provide the reasons for your choice(s). You
can use different temporal data warehousing techniques for the temporal dimensions.
If there are any, you must provide the reasons for your choice(s).
The outputs of this task are:
c) Two versions of star/snowflake schema diagrams.
d) 1. The reasons for the choice of determinant dimension(s) in your star schema, or
the reason for its absence.
2. The reasons for the choice of SCD type(s) for any temporal dimensions in your
star schema, or the reason for its absence.
e) An explanation of the differences between the two versions of star/snowflake
schemas.
Note: The above explanation must be consistent with your star schema diagram
and based on the assignment scenario. Please have a maximum of 300 words for
each explanation.
2. Implement the two versions of the star/snowflake schemas using SQL.
You are required to implement the star/snowflake schemas for the two versions that
you have drawn in Task 1. That is, you may need to create the different fact and
dimension tables for the two versions in SQL, and populate these tables accordingly.
When naming the fact tables and dimension tables, you are required to give identical
names for the two versions and suffix the version number to differentiate them. For
example, you can use “MonCity_fact_v1” for version-1 and “MonCity_fact_v2” for
6
FIT3003 Major Assignment - Semester 2, 2022
version-2. If the dimension is the same between the two versions, you do not need to
create them twice.
The output is a series of SQL statements to perform this task. You will also need to
show that this task has been carried out successfully.
Note:
● If your account is full, you will need to drop all of the tables that you have
previously created during labs.
● If you have dopped all tables in you account and you still encounter the
ORA-01536: space quota exceeded for tablesace
‘TABLE_NAME’, please check your SQL code whether you have properly
joined all tables. This issue was mainly caused when you did not do the table join
properly as the number of records multiplied during the process.
The outputs of this task are:
a) SQL statements (e.g., create table, insert into, etc.) to create the star/snowflake
schema Version-1.
b) SQL statements (e.g., create table, insert into, etc.) to create the star/snowflake
schema Version-2.
Note: The SQL statements for both levels of star schema must be presented in the
PDF file.
3. Create the following reports using OLAP queries.
You are required to generate several reports using the data warehouse version-1
(high aggregation) that you have implemented in Task 2. For each report, you should
produce the SQL command and sample report output.
Note: the table snapshots of the following questions are only for reference purposes.

include some selection buttons, which may give users options on what criteria to include so
that the graph report will be more dynamic.
5. Final Recommendations/Suggestions
Due to the successful operation of the MonCity project, Monash University decided to invest
further in the self-driving car project. As a data warehouse engineer:
● You are required to provide a suggestion with valid supporting data to help
management decide on how to improve current self-driving car projects, such as
which car body type should be further invested in based on the Booking, maintenance,
and accident records, or which error code has contributed to the most number of
accidents, etc.; or
● If you have a different opinion on the self-driving car project, provide a reason why
the project is not worth further investment.
Note: The above suggestion must contain valid supporting data from the MonCity
database and data warehouse. This could be tables, graphs, or charts. Please use a
maximum of 500 words for your suggestions.
