Description
Background
The South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) is seeking to modernize its traffic data collection and management systems due to challenges with its aging loop-based traffic monitoring system. The current system is costly to maintain and lacks capabilities for modern analytics and emerging detection technologies. The existing software is outdated, leading to inefficiencies and limited data usefulness.
Traffic data is fragmented across multiple systems, creating silos that hinder statewide planning and operational decision-making. This project aims to evaluate and recommend modern sensor technologies and software solutions for centralized, vendor-neutral data management, ensuring interoperability and preparing for future integration with Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS).
Work Details
The project will involve the following tasks:
1) Evaluate existing traffic monitoring systems and identify modernization needs;
2) Assess local agencies' traffic monitoring practices;
3) Recommend modern sensor technologies (e.g., radar, lidar, video) and software platforms;
4) Develop a centralized data management framework with standards for interoperability;
5) Define data governance best practices;
6) Ensure integration with SDDOT's Active Traffic Management System (ATMS);
7) Prepare a comprehensive report detailing findings, recommendations, and implementation strategies.
The end goal is to create an integrated traffic data framework that supports real-time operations and long-term planning.
Period of Performance
The anticipated duration of the project is 24 months, starting from October 1, 2026.
Place of Performance
The work will primarily be conducted in South Dakota, focusing on SDDOT facilities and potentially involving local agencies across the state.
Bidder Requirements
Proposals must demonstrate capability in traffic data management systems. Bidders must comply with non-discrimination requirements under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Proposals should remain valid for at least 120 days post-submission deadline. Additionally, bidders must certify compliance regarding foreign ownership as per South Dakota Executive Order 2023-02.
