Quick Summary
The FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION is seeking services to identify roadway design and infrastructure factors influencing Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in mitigating rural roadway departure crashes. This is a non-personal services purchase order with a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) structure. The objective is to optimize ADAS performance and provide recommendations for improving roadway geometric design and infrastructure. Quotations are due by May 11, 2026.
Scope of Work
The selected contractor will conduct a comprehensive review and assessment of geometric design elements and infrastructure factors. Key tasks include:
- Task 1: Attend Kick-Off Meeting: Coordinate and facilitate a kick-off meeting, develop a draft work plan, and arrange bi-weekly check-in meetings.
- Task 2: Collect, Extract, Integrate, and Evaluate Roadway Geometric Design Elements and Infrastructure Factors: Conduct a data-driven process to collect and analyze data (geometric design, infrastructure features, crash data, vehicle trajectory) to identify factors affecting Roadway Departure (RwD) avoidance ADAS performance on rural roads. This involves using GIS and image-based extraction, analyzing historical crash data, and conducting a safety analysis.
- Task 3: Develop Technical Report: Prepare a comprehensive technical report, including outlines, drafts, and final versions, along with presentation materials.
- Task 4: Develop Outreach Materials: Create marketing and outreach materials, such as a peer-reviewed journal/conference paper or a webinar.
