3D LiDAR AND SMARTPHONE-BASED PLATFORMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLE TRAFFIC DATA

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is seeking a contractor to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of using 3D LiDAR and smartphone-based platforms to collect field geometry data for motor vehicle traffic. The contractor will evaluate the accuracy and data standardization of these platforms, as well as their ability to analyze driver behavior and provide safety and operational performance evaluations. The contractor will conduct field data collection at selected sites, analyze the data, and provide a final report. The period of performance is 24 months, and the contractor will be required to participate in monthly progress meetings and a kick-off meeting. Some key aspects of the project include: * Evaluating the feasibility and effectiveness of 3D LiDAR and smartphone-based platforms for field geometry data collection * Conducting field data collection at selected sites * Analyzing the data and providing safety and operational performance evaluations * Participating in monthly progress meetings and a kick-off meeting * Providing a final report
