21-1688 - Traffic Data Solution

The City of Calgary (“The City”) Roads business unit is soliciting proposals from experienced proponents for the provision of the traffic data solution in various forms. The proposed solution is required to support the traffic data requirements of The City’s Traffic Management Center (TMC).

There are three types of traffic data that The City is seeking: real-time data, historical data and aggergated historical data. The real-time data would be an accurate source of data that provides dynamic information on traffic flow for important corridors in Calgary. This information will be used to update the estimated time travel boards located on major Calgary routes and to alert the traffic management staff to developing traffic incidents. Historical data refers to a log of real-time data and would be used by The City to review traffic incidents and perform analysis. Aggregated data is historical data that has been processed to remove non-representative traffic incidents and periods such as holidays and then used to calculate a travel time distribution.  The City would also be interested in various support applications and integration tools that can be used to analyze and report on the real time, historical and aggregated data.
