High Speed Vehicle Data Collection AI-Enabled Camera Systems

The Florida Department of Transportation is seeking information from qualified vendors regarding the capabilities, specifications, and deployment considerations of AI-enabled camera sensor systems. The agency needs these systems to perform continuous, high-accuracy vehicle data collection on the Florida State Highway System. The primary problem the agency is trying to solve is the need for technologies that can operate twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, under high-speed traffic conditions and across diverse environmental and climatic conditions. The scope of work requires systems that achieve a minimum vehicle detection and classification accuracy of ninety-five percent under all operating conditions, supporting at least thirteen FHWA vehicle classes. The requested technology must estimate speeds within five percent of actual vehicle speed at highway speeds of seventy miles per hour or greater, and it must distinguish vehicles by lane during lane changes and congestion. Additionally, the systems must report real-time vehicle counts and lane occupancy rates, operate in temperatures ranging from fourteen to one hundred forty degrees Fahrenheit, and function reliably in rain, fog, high humidity, salt air, direct sunlight, and nighttime conditions using infrared or low-light imaging. The agency requires the camera systems to output structured data formats such as PRN, JSON, or XML with timestamped vehicle records. The systems must integrate compatibly with the existing Florida Department of Transportation Data Management Systems and comply with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework or equivalent standards for data transmission and storage. The anticipated contract period for this project is one year, and the performance of the work will take place offsite. Eligibility rules restrict participation to onshore vendors located in the United States. Bidders must submit their responses digitally via email or online. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget, and the source document does not specify any other key dates.
