Traffic Data Collection Services

The City of Raleigh, North Carolina, is seeking a qualified vendor to provide comprehensive traffic data collection services. The agency requires the collection of site information and traffic data at specified locations to determine the number, direction, speed, and classification of motor vehicles. This data will assist the agency in analyzing vehicle turning movements, volume, speed, class, and other critical traffic metrics. The scope of work requires the use of counters equipped with the latest video artificial intelligence models and firmware available from the manufacturer. These video classifiers must accurately detect and classify vehicles under all typical conditions, including daytime, nighttime with or without street lighting, rain, and fog. The selected vendor must deliver data collection reports in a single PDF document containing a cover sheet with site data, photographs, gap data in fifteen-minute increments, volume, and a peak hour analysis. The agency requires the final data to be organized specifically in southbound, westbound, northbound, and eastbound order. Equipment must not be installed in active work zones unless specifically requested, and data collection must not occur during extreme weather conditions. The agency is establishing a contract period of three years for these services. Only organizations based in the United States are eligible to bid on this opportunity. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or through the designated online portal. The agency is currently looking for proposals to establish the budget for this project. All questions regarding this opportunity must be submitted no later than June 17, 2026.
