Procurement of real-time traffic data
The Danish Road Directorate (DRD) will enter into an agreement with a supplier on the supply of real-time traffic data where the location reference is based on GNSS-technology. Real-time traffic data in this tender is defined as processed data with travel time and travel speed and pointing out extraordinary situations e.g. traffic congestion derived from these data and all referenced to a given road segment and time / time interval. As the GPS system is the best known and most wide spread GNSS system, the term “GPS” will be used instead in the following text. The supplier will act as broker (intermediary) and is responsible for the collection of GPS-based real-time traffic data from vehicles.
DRD will use GPS-based real-time traffic data to obtain a better knowledge of the traffic situation and of extraordinary congestion. The more and better real-time traffic data in 2015 will provide e.g. better traffic information to road users and improved incident management and hence improved traffic flow. The delivery may also include the provision of statistical traffic data for planning based on the same data sources that provide real-time traffic data cf. option below.
Data Collection:
The candidate must enter into agreements with data providers for the delivery of GPS-based real-time traffic data. The data providers may be e.g. fleet owners, motorists with smart-phones, providers of GPS -based smartphone navigation, service providers of navigation equipment for vehicles and vehicle manufacturers, which collects data from the vehicles.
The candidate must operate IT services that can conduct an online collection of data with GPS-based real-time traffic data from data providers.
The supplier must monitor the collection of data from his suppliers and related IT services for breakdowns.
The volume of data with respect to the geographic extent of the road network will, for the real-time data, be determined finally through the competitive dialogue. It might for instance be the strategic road network in Denmark (levels 1, 2 and 3), which includes approx. 5.000 km of the road network. This applies for data collection, data processing and data delivery. Concerning statistical data see option 2 below.
The time period(s) and frequency for which data is collected, processed and delivered will be determined finally through the competitive dialogue. This will be with high frequency, i.e. within minutes, and in principle up to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year to be able always to determine extraordinary traffic situations.
Data processing:
The processing of real-time traffic data includes transformation of data from simple observations about the vehicles to processed data in the form of e.g. travel speed for a given road segment and time / time interval. This includes tasks with cleaning the data, map-matching and travel time calculation and possibly further data services.
The supplier must provide and operate the IT systems needed to perform fully automated data processing. DRD make their algorithms including documentation available to the supplier as a basis for providing the IT systems for data processing. When calculating statistical traffic data these algorithms must be used if DRD choose to make use of option 2 below.
The extent of the task of data processing and distribution of work between the supplier and DRD will be determined through the competitive dialogue.
Data delivery:
Data must be delivered digitally and online referenced to road segments based on a recognized standardized method on segments of a road network defined by DRD.
The delivered data and data delivery process must meet a number of requirements e.g. concerning delivery delay, reliability, update frequency, error in the vehicle speed, robustness and uptime.
The supplier and sub suppliers must follow good code of conduct concerning the handling of sensitive data. The code of conduct will be part of the contract.
DRD must be able to use data for internal purposes and to publish the data in DRD services and share information concerning extraordinary congestion. The question of the extent of rights to use and distribute the data is finally determined through the competitive dialogue.
The collection, processing and delivery of data must be conducted in accordance with the best practice recommendations on information security management.
Quality control:
The supplier must have manual and automatic processes to continuously ensure the quality of data and regular quality control in relation to the requirements. The results of the quality control must be documented to DRD.
DRD will test the quality of data provided e.g. against a test system run by DRD.
Options:
The tender may include the following options cf. II.2.2. The wording will be finally formulated following the competitive dialog phase.
1. Delivery of real-time traffic data for municipal roads in selected municipalities that are cooperating with DRD on traffic information. DRD must have the rights to use data for internal purposes and to publish the data in DRD services including services developed and run in cooperation with the municipalities.
2. Delivery of data for statistical applications for the major road network in Denmark, approx. 20-30.000 km of roads, or processed statistical traffic data to DRD for selected roads in Denmark. Both types of deliveries monthly or with larger time intervals (as a minimum once per year) based on the same data sources that provide real-time traffic data. DRD must have the rights to use data for internal purposes and to publish the data in DRD services, reports etc.
3. Renewal of agreement for 2 times 12 month.
