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 successfully detect and classify vehicles under all typical conditions, including daytime, nighttime with or without street lighting, rain, and fog. The agency expects data collection reports delivered 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 prohibits the installation of data collection equipment in work zones unless specifically requested, and operations must not occur during extreme weather conditions. All collected data must be organized and presented in a specific southbound, westbound, northbound, and eastbound order. The agency is offering a contract period of three years for these services. Only organizations based in the United States are eligible to bid on this opportunity. The agency will accept proposal submissions digitally via email or through their online portal, and bidders may perform the work onsite or offsite. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is currently looking for proposals to determine funding. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 17, 2026.
