As the state of Tennessee continues to grow with an anticipated population growth of 1 million by 2040 and anticipated growth on freight traffic across the state is estimated at nearly 50% by 2050. Managing traffic by clearing traffic incidents quickly to minimize secondary crashes is critical to the safety and reliability of Tennessee’s transportation network. To that end, TDOT is investing in technologies that help speed up detection of traffic disruptions. Video Analytics is a tool that will help TDOT decrease traffic incident detection time and free up traffic management center operators to work more closely with emergency response partners on quickly clearing incidents and notifying upstream motorists of changing highway conditions. The respondent shall provide the underlying system software, infrastructure, bandwidth, and cloud services for hosting, and deployment of a video analytics system.
