Performance Work Statement

Collecting Eye Tracking and Vehicle Kinematics Data from Alternative Intersection and Interchange Sites

1.0 Overview

This is a non-personal services purchase order for the collection of eye-tracking and vehicle kinematics data at Alternative Intersection and Interchange (AII) sites. The objective is to develop a naturalistic driving dataset to support future research evaluating the safety and operational performance of selected AII designs and to determine corresponding optimal design parameters.

The Government will not exercise supervision or control over the service providers performing these tasks.

Such individuals shall be accountable solely to the Contractor, who, in turn, is responsible to the Government as specified in this Performance Work Statement (PWS). The Contractor shall perform all work in accordance with the standards set forth herein.

2.0 Background

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) advocates for AII designs, such as the diverging diamond interchange, continuous flow intersection, turbo roundabout, and protected intersection, etc., as cost-effective solutions for improving safety and alleviating congestion at junctions with consistent traffic patterns. In general, AII designs consist of multiple intersections working together as integrated facilities, are optimized for specific recurring traffic patterns, have less conflict points, and usually outperform conventional designs by substantial margins when implemented in the appropriate environment.

Navigating AII sites is an active process requiring close coordination between cognitive functions (guidance detection, information processing, and decision-making) and physical control actions (steering, braking, and acceleration) all executed within constrained time and space. Various technologies may be employed to evaluate the safety and operational performance of AII designs and to assess the workload imposed on road users by different geometric and traffic control configurations.

Eye tracking is a research methodology used to capture drivers’ visual search behavior, decision-making processes, and action execution patterns. The resulting data provide insights into drivers’ wayfinding strategies and navigation-related decisions. Analysis of eye-tracking data improves understanding of how drivers seek and interpret navigational guidance, as well as the cognitive and physical workloads associated with information processing and driving task execution.

Based on market research, at least three types of eye-tracking platforms are currently available:

• Head-mounted eye tracker: This device is worn on the participant’s head. As a vision-based system, it records eye movements relative to a scene that moves with the participant’s head, enabling the capture of gaze behavior in dynamic viewing conditions.

• Dash-mounted eye tracker: This device is mounted on a table or vehicle dashboard in front of the participant. Also vision-based, it records eye movements relative to a stable scene that does not move with the participant’s head, making it suitable for controlled environments.

• Electrooculogram (EOG) eye tracker: This system uses electrodes or sensors attached to the participant’s face to measure the electrical signals generated by ocular muscle activity. Unlike vision-based systems, it determines eye movements from these electrical signals rather than from image-based observations.

For the purposes of this purchase order, a dash-mounted eye tracker is the required platform for recording drivers’ wayfinding and decision-making processes.

Drivers may exhibit different levels of confidence and workload when navigating specific AII sites. Their collective driving experiences can provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of these facilities from a user perspective. By analyzing eye-tracking and vehicle kinematics data collected across multiple AII sites, the Sponsor aims to identify design deficiencies, evaluate driver responses to key design features, and establish optimal ranges for critical geometric design parameters for selected AII configurations.

The qualified contractor may use either their own dash-mounted eye tracker or the Government-furnished Smart Eye Pro 3 dash-mounted eye tracker, which includes a GPS module.

3.0 Objective and Scope

The objective of this purchase order is to collect eye-tracking and vehicle kinematics data from 15 AII sites in the United States. These data will support subsequent studies aimed at defining optimal ranges for key design parameters, including geometric features as well as the placement and content of guidance signs and pavement markings under expected traffic demand conditions.

The 15 AII sites may be located in up to three geographic regions, with the sites in each region clustered within an approximate 20-mile radius. In each region, at least 25 local drivers shall be recruited to participate in the data collection efforts.

Note: The suggestion of 15 sites across up to three regions is intended to maintain project practicality and budgetary control. Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, and Utah each have a substantial number of AII sites.

4.0 Detailed Requirements

Offerors responding to this purchase order shall demonstrate expertise in collecting vehicle kinematics and GPS location data at a sampling rate of 10 Hz or higher. Experience in collecting dash-mounted eye-tracking data is desirable but not mandatory.

The Sponsor considers developing proficiency with the Smart Eye Pro 3 system to be minimally to moderately challenging for personnel already experienced in developing data acquisition systems for collecting and archiving vehicle kinematics and GPS data and is willing to cover the cost of technical training on this system for the selected contractor’s staff.

The Sponsor retains ownership of and all rights to all data collected, generated, or otherwise obtained under this purchase order. The Contractor may retain a copy of the dataset, excluding any personally identifiable information (PII), but shall not disclose, distribute, publish, use for other research purposes, or otherwise share the data with any third party without the Sponsor’s prior written permission.

The Contractor shall participate in monthly meetings, scheduled by the Technical Point of Contact (TPOC), to report on progress, receive technical feedback, and discuss guidance from the technical panel regarding the research direction.

Task 1: Attend Kick-Off Meeting Within two weeks of contract award, the Contractor shall attend a kick-off meeting. Government attendees will include the TPOC, members of the Technical Advisory Panel (TAP), and optional participants from the FHWA Program Office.

The FHWA representatives will explain key contractual elements, the responsibilities of each party, supporting documentation required for invoice submissions, and key technical directions and project management approaches, etc. The contractor representatives are expected to present the following:

• Key team members, their expertise, and roles in the project

• Understanding of the Performance Work Statement (PWS)

• Major functionalities of its vehicle kinematics data acquisition system

• Relevant experience, if any, in collecting eye-tracking data for traffic or safety studies

• Draft work plan with timelines for:

o Readying the data acquisition systems (eye-tracking and vehicle kinematics) o Selecting AII sites o Obtaining IRB approval for using local drivers in data collection o Planning data collection routes by region o Collecting eye-tracking and vehicle kinematics data

The Contractor shall document feedback and inputs provided by the TAP and other FHWA attendees during the meeting and submit a meeting summary along with a revised work plan within one week following the meeting.

Task 1 Completion Timeline:

Task 1 shall be completed within three weeks of award.

• Submission of key meeting notes and revised work plan.

Task 2: Get Technical and Regulatory Approvals for Field Data Collection

Task 2.1 Get Technical Approval The Contractor shall consult the TAP to determine whether the data elements collected by the vehicle kinematics data acquisition system are sufficient to meet the requirements of this purchase order. If not, the Contractor shall modify or upgrade the system as necessary to achieve compliance. For the eye-tracking data acquisition system, the Contractor may, as needed, obtain on-site technical training from Smart Eye to support system setup, calibration, and operation. The vehicle kinematics and eye-tracking systems may operate either as a single integrated data acquisition platform or as two independent systems within the same research vehicle. In the latter case, both systems shall include synchronized time stamps, GPS coordinates, vehicle speeds, and vehicle acceleration data to enable cross-verification of data accuracy and consistency across time intervals, vehicle locations, and operating speeds.

After the data elements are approved by the TAP and all required training is completed, the Contractor shall ensure that the project team includes at least two personnel capable of independently setting up and operating both data acquisition systems. Prior to formal field data collection, the Contractor shall conduct a system test run to collect one hour of sample eye-tracking data (including text and video outputs) and vehicle kinematics data. The Contractor shall work with the TAP to evaluate the consistency and alignment of data trends between the two datasets. If discrepancies are identified, the Contractor shall determine the sources of errors and modify or calibrate the system(s) as necessary until data consistency is achieved.

The Contractor shall deliver to the Government a copy of the sample dataset for use in estimating data storage requirements, along with a data dictionary and the proposed data file structure and naming conventions for the datasets to be collected.

Task 2.2 Get Regulatory Approval

The Contractor shall identify up to three regions where different forms of AIIs exist within an approximate 20-mile radius and develop an experimental design outlining the desired mix of driver demographics. The Contractor shall prepare an Institutional Review Board (IRB) application that describes the number of participants to be recruited, information to be collected from each participant, potential risks, participant compensation, and other required elements. The Contractor shall submit the IRB application for review and approval.

Task 2 Completion Timeline:

Task 2.1 shall be completed within three months of award.

Task 2.2 shall be completed within six months of award.

Task 2 Deliverables:

• Eye-tracking and vehicle kinematics data acquisition systems readied and approved.

• One-hour sample eye-tracking and vehicle telematics data collected; consistencies between common data elements in the two datasets verified; data dictionary created; file directory structure and naming conventions proposed.

• Up to three regions with enough AII sites identified.

• Experimental design and field data collection plan submitted to and approved by IRB.

Task 3. Identify AII Sites and Design Data Collection Routes Based on the three regions identified in Task 2.2 and the available AII sites within them, the Contractor shall coordinate with TAP to determine which types of AIIs will be included in the study. Following this coordination, the Contractor shall identify 15 AII sites for field data collection. It is desirable to include at least three sites for each type of selected AII design; however, for less commonly implemented designs such as turbo roundabouts, the inclusion of only one site will be acceptable.

For each AII site, the Contractor shall understand the key design features and the traffic movements that are significantly altered or affected by the design. These critical movements shall be incorporated into the design of the data collection routes. The Contractor shall plan a minimum of four distinct data collection traversals through each AII site. Each traversal shall approach the AII from a different direction and the points of both entering and exiting the AII site shall be at least 0.25 mile beyond the AII footprint.

For each data collection region, the Contractor shall schedule one meeting with TAP to present the selected AII sites and the planned data collection routes. During the meeting, the Contractor shall explain the methodology for randomly sequencing the routes for test subjects if needed. Based on feedback provided by TAP, the Contractor shall revise the data collection routes as necessary.

Task 3 Completion Timeline:

Task 3 shall be completed within 9 months of award.

Task 3 Deliverables:

• Up to three regions and a total of 15 AII sites selected and approved by TAP.

• Data collection routes through each AII site planned, mapped, and approved by TAP.

The remaining team member(s) may assist with scheduling interviews and data collection trips and conducting pre-trip orientations and post-trip interviews.

Task 4.1 Recruit Participants Based on the experimental design developed in Task 2.2, the Contractor shall define the required range of vision capabilities, driving skills, demographic characteristics, and mental and physical abilities for study participants, and use appropriate platforms to recruit a minimum of 25 local drivers in each region.

The Contractor shall develop a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the recruitment and screening of candidates. The SOP shall describe procedures for interviewing applicants, assessing required capabilities, communicating the study’s potential benefits and risks, and obtaining informed consent and participation commitments from qualified candidates. The recruitment process may include both virtual and in-person interactions, as appropriate.

Task 4.2 Collect Eye-Tracking and Vehicle Kinematics Data Collection of eye-tracking and vehicle kinematics data may be carried out in up to three regions, encompassing a total of 15 AII sites as well as other intersections in between. In each region, 25 local drivers shall participate, each driver traverses each AII site four times. Each traversal shall represent a different traffic movement, approaching and exiting the AII site from a distance of at least 0.25 mile beyond the site’s footprint.

Each region consists of multiple AII sites. Data collection trips shall be planned to emulate naturalistic driving conditions throughout the entire trip. To minimize fatigue for both test subjects and Contractor staff, each data collection trip is recommended to be limited to two hours or less, excluding the time participants spend in orientation and waiting. Technical staff shall rotate responsibilities in supervising the data collection trips.

While supervising a participant operating the research vehicle, a printed checklist may be used to ensure that all designated data collection routes are traversed. The sequence of routes may be varied for each participant. For each participant, once the trip begins, the collection of eye-tracking and vehicle kinematics data shall remain continuous throughout the entire trip.

Data collection trips shall be scheduled throughout the day each week, including weekends, to capture both peak and non-peak traffic conditions. Field data collection shall be suspended during inclement weather.

Following each trip, on-site staff shall conduct post-trip interviews to document the local drivers’ experiences.

The trip supervisor shall perform a quality inspection of the collected data and archive all data generated by test participants on a daily basis.

The Contractor shall deliver to the Government a copy of the collected eye-tracking and vehicle kinematics data, including anonymized participates demographics data (gender, age, years of driving experience, level of driving skills), within one month after completing data collection in each region.
