Specifications include, but are not limited to: 1. Video Detection – Video Image Vehicle Tracking and Detection System (VIVTDS) Included are the minimum requirements for a system that views, captures, and derives data based on the vehicles that pass within the sensor field of view along a highway, road, ramp, or other commonly used transit pathways via processing video images. The detection of vehicles by a VIVTDS can be accessed and used by and for a large number of applications, including: 1.1 Vehicle detection and actuation at intersections. 1.2 Highway flow monitoring. 1.3 Ramp metering. 1.4 Advanced detection. 1.5 PED crossing extensions. 1.6 Temporary construction zone detection. 1.7 Situational awareness of location area, including an intersection center. 1.8 Automated alerts and reports of potentially unsafe conditions, incidents, malfunctions, or signal timing inefficiencies. 1.9 Collecting and archiving traffic data for future analysis to improve performance by optimizing timing plans at intersections. 1.10 The system must have a modular electrical design and use Ethernet to connect and network with the different system components. Must be capable of streaming video images, alerts, and data must be transmitted from the field back to a Traffic Operations Center (TOC) via the systems client software and to the VIVTDS’s cloud by using any or combination of the following: 1.10.1 Fiber optic. 1.10.2 Microwave. 1.10.3 WAN 1.10.4 TCP/IP 1.10.5 Internal modem 1.10.6 Any other means of commonly used communication practices and standards for digital content and information. The VIVTDS software must provide graphical user interfaces between the administrator(s) and permissioned users of the system and the VIVTDS sensor(s) itself. The software must allow the user to configure sites, conduct maintenance, monitor information relayed from the sensor, provide access to real-time data, system and user defined alerts, and access to historical data collected by the sensor. The software must be allowed to be installed on a single personal computer or across a network of computers. One or more users must be able to access VIVTDS simultaneously.
