Performance Work Statement

Cell Phone and 3D LiDAR Platforms for Collecting Field Data

1.0 Overview

This is a non-personal services purchase order for the procurement of technical services to collect field data. The purpose is to evaluate compliance with geometric design standards and assess the safety and operational efficiency of selected roadway facilities.

The Government will not exercise supervision or control over the service providers performing these tasks. These individuals must be accountable solely to the Contractor, who is, in turn, responsible to the Government as specified in this Performance Work Statement (PWS). The Contractor must perform in accordance with the standards set forth herein.

2.0 Background

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) advocates for innovative intersection and interchange designs—such as the diverging diamond interchange, continuous flow intersection, turbo roundabout, and protected intersection—as cost-effective solutions to enhance safety and alleviate congestion in areas with consistent traffic patterns. These designs incorporate raised curbs and islands to channel motor vehicle traffic, separate different transportation modes, and provide refuge for vulnerable road users.

Planning and construction timelines for such projects may span two to five years, with costs ranging from $500,000 to $80 million. For each new design, the FHWA collaborates with state and local agencies to identify multiple implementation sites that differ in geography, traffic volume, and climate, etc. These sites are then evaluated to determine the safety and operational performance of the completed designs.

Field data collection is a critical and often costly component of the evaluation process. While the FHWA Intersection Safety Team has utilized a variety of proven and advanced technologies to gather traffic data, efficient and cost-effective methods for collecting field geometry data remain limited. This data is essential for evaluating compliance to design standards and accurate rendering of facility features such as geometric layouts, signage, and pavement markings.

Through market research, two AI-powered technical approaches have been identified as potential solutions to address this gap.

Smartphone-Based Platform This approach leverages a mobile application (App) installed on a smartphone, which is securely mounted and properly oriented on a vehicle window. As the vehicle travels at highway speeds, the App captures field video, GPS coordinates, speeds, accelerations, and other data from the smartphone’s onboard sensors. The system can analyze this data in real time to detect horizontal and vertical curves and assess the need for regulatory speed limit signage. It can also determine the appropriate speed limit and evaluate whether existing posted limits exceed the safe speeds as recommended by design standards such as the AASHTO Green Book.

This method is highly scalable, as the App can be deployed on numerous smartphones.

Additionally, it allows researchers to study driver behavior by comparing how different drivers navigate the same roadway facility.

3D LiDAR Platform This method involves using a vehicle equipped with high-resolution 3D LiDAR to scan the roadway and its surrounding environment at highway speeds. The resulting data enables precise reconstruction of the roadway layout, including accurate positioning of roadside and overhead signs, intersection spacing, and other geometric features. For innovative intersection and interchange designs, especially where engineering drawings are unavailable, 3D LiDAR scan data enables rapid, highly accurate 3D modeling. In fact, over 90% of the design features can typically be rendered correctly, significantly reducing the time and labor required to reproduce existing layouts.

Many state DOTs already conduct annual LiDAR scans of their roadway networks. In most cases, the data has been collected but remains unanalyzed due to limited access to specialized software tools. This existing data can often be obtained at minimal cost, eliminating the need to deploy contractors for new scans.

Beyond layout reconstruction, LiDAR data also supports safety evaluations, such as assessing stopping sight distance at specific intersections. By referencing design standards (e.g., AASHTO Green Book), analysts can identify locations where sight distance is inadequate due to obstructions like large objects or overgrown vegetation. This makes the LiDAR platform a cost-effective and efficient solution for both geometric data acquisition and design compliance evaluation.

3.0 Objectives

The objectives of this procurement are:

1. Evaluate Smartphone-Based Platform Assess the feasibility and effectiveness of using a cellphone-based platform to collect field geometry data. This includes evaluating location-specific safe speed limits and analyzing driver behavior across multiple drivers navigating the same roadway facility.

2. Evaluate 3D LiDAR-Based Platform Investigate using high-resolution 3D LiDAR data to accurately reconstruct the geometric layout of innovative roadway facilities. This includes identifying the precise location and content of roadside and overhead signs, as well as evaluating the adequacy of stopping sight distance at critical locations based on established design guidelines.

4.0 Detailed Requirements

Offerors responding to this procurement are expected to either own or have developed relevant data acquisition systems. The work under this purchase order will consist of enhancements to those existing systems.

For each data capture platform, the technology will be evaluated at one innovative intersection or interchange site, as well as on winding roadway segments adding up approximately 10 miles in length. Field data collected during these evaluations will be analyzed using the Contractor’s analytical software—updated as necessary under this purchase order—to assess the safety and operational performance of the facilities, verify compliance with design guidelines, and identify obvious hazardous roadway features. The Government must retain rights to all data collected, generated, or otherwise obtained under this contract.

The Contractor must provide all personnel, equipment, materials, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, supervision, and any other items or non-personal services required to perform the tasks described in this Performance Work Statement.

The Contractor must participate in monthly meetings, scheduled by the Technical Point of Contact, 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 purchase order award, the Contractor must participate in a kick-off meeting, held either virtually or in person. Government attendees will include the TPOC, members of the Technical Advisory Panel (TAP), and optional participants from the FHWA Program Office.

During the meeting, the Contractor must:

• Introduce key project team members.

• Present proposed management approach for completing the required work items.

• Provide an overview of data elements in their existing data capture system.
