Artificial Intelligence (AI) Transportation Systems Management and Operations Data initiative Solution

The issuing agency is seeking an artificial intelligence transportation systems management and operations data initiative solution. This research and development effort aims to enhance the safety, efficiency, and resilience of the highway transportation system by identifying, clarifying, and addressing data-related barriers that limit the effective use of artificial intelligence within the agency. The project requires identifying the highest-priority data-related challenges limiting artificial intelligence in transportation systems management and operations, and developing prototype solutions for these challenges across at least two use cases. The scope of work covers developing an inventory of national data sources that can best support the chosen use cases, including gap assessments of the sources in terms of scope and features. The agency requires the development of at least two preliminary prototypes, such as algorithms and models, to address high-priority data-related gaps and challenges faced by at least one use case. Additionally, the project requires establishing data or model benchmarks for the highest-priority use case by leveraging the knowledge on artificial intelligence models, data sources, and prototypes developed during the base period. Eligibility is restricted to United States organizations only. The agency requires all performance of the work to be conducted offsite. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals to define the financial parameters. The source document does not contain evaluation criteria or key dates for this opportunity.
