The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has issued a request for offers (RFO) to establish a five-year contract for a video imaging vehicle detection system (VIVDS).
According to the RFO, TxDOT is seeking a VIVDS “that monitors and provides vehicle stop line detection at a roadway intersection via processing of video images and provides detector outputs to a traffic controller or similar device.”
The requested VIVDS must be compatible with NEMA TS1, NEMA TS2 Type 1, Type 2 and Type 170/2070 equipment and feature a processor that is either pluggable in a NEMA TS2 detector rack or is a shelf-mount unit.
The system must be capable of detecting approaching or departing vehicles in multiple traffic lanes, providing a minimum of 24 detection zones specific to the direction of vehicle travel, compensating for minor camera movements without false detections, operating disconnected or online, viewing detections in real time, simultaneously processing information from various video sources and detecting vehicles in a minimum of 12 detection zones within the combined field of view of all cameras.
More detailed information about RFO No. 601340000054991, including all submission requirements and requests, can be found online. The deadline for questions is March 18. The deadline for proposals is 3 p.m. April 3. Nora Ochoa is the point of contact for this RFO.
