UNSPSC 46161536: Traffic information acquisition system

A system device installed on the road where vehicles pass that collects and analyzes data on traffic conditions such as traffic volume, speed, occupancy rate.

UNSPSC 46161536 Traffic information acquisition system is a Commodity code covering the procurement of automated traffic monitoring equipment and detection systems that state and local governments deploy at intersections and corridors to collect vehicle volume, speed, classification, and detection data for traffic operations and planning. Recent solicitations show state and local jurisdictions purchasing radar-based vehicle count stations with cellular data integration, LiDAR vehicle detection systems, traffic signal controllers with integrated detection capabilities, CCTV monitoring systems, and related infrastructure that feeds real-time and historical traffic data into advanced traffic management systems and cloud platforms for traffic engineering analysis and operations support. Issuing bodies span city transportation departments (Dallas, Brownsville, Sarasota, Atlanta, Madison), county governments (Collier, Okaloosa, Cameron, Orange, Harris, Clackamas, Santa Clara), state departments of transportation (Utah, Kansas turnpike), and transit authorities and metropolitan planning organizations (Orange County Transportation Authority). The code sees activity across multiple states, with recent opportunities posted from Florida, Texas, Georgia, Utah, California, Oregon, Wisconsin, Colorado, Connecticut, and Arizona, reflecting sustained demand for traffic data infrastructure across diverse geographic and jurisdictional contexts.

Representative recent opportunities include the Collier County Board of County Commissioners' August 3, 2026 ITB for 22 pole-mounted radar-based vehicle count stations with five-year cellular data service and cloud hosting under a grant-funded procurement, the City of Brownsville's May 28, 2026 IFB for traffic monitoring and management infrastructure including Cyber Lock electronic devices, CCTV systems with PTZ cameras, and Econolite traffic signal controllers at signalized intersections, and the Utah Department of Transportation's May 29, 2026 RFP for LiDAR Vehicle Detection Stations and C-V2X roadside and on-board units supporting freeway operations. Other activity includes the Orange County Transportation Authority's April 27, 2026 RFP for Olympic modeling support and microsimulation services, the City of Norwalk, Connecticut's April 24, 2026 RFP for turning movement counts, traffic data platform development, and safety analytics dashboard creation under a Safe Streets and Roads for All grant, and Seminole County, Florida's May 27, 2026 IFB for on-call traffic data collection services covering approximately 500 annual count locations. The code shows consistent activity in both equipment procurement (detection stations, controllers, CCTV) and associated services (data collection, analysis, traffic modeling, signal optimization), with many opportunities tied to federal grant funding (Carbon Reduction Program, FDOT, USDOT Safe Streets and Roads for All, FHWA) and state or local transportation improvement initiatives.
