Turning Urban Data into Real-Time Insight through Artificial Intelligence Driven Solutions

The agency is seeking innovative artificial intelligence driven solutions that repurpose existing urban infrastructure as a distributed, passive sensing network. This network must deliver scalable, real-time situational awareness and anomaly detection to solve the problem of identifying potential threats in urban environments. The project covers building one or more artificial intelligence enabled modules capable of ingesting and processing data from at least two heterogeneous sources. The scope of work requires the solution to perform real-time analysis to identify anomalous patterns or potential threat indicators within the ingested data streams. The system must produce machine-readable outputs, such as alerts, scores, or flags, corresponding to detected anomalies for further review by an operator. Additionally, the agency requires a portable, edge-deployable solution that can rapidly connect to locally available data feeds and adapt when individual sources degrade or go offline. Bidders must perform all work offsite and must be located onshore within Canada. The agency is accepting digital submissions via email or online. The contract period will span one year, and the agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget.
