Quick Summary
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), under the Department of Transportation, is soliciting quotations for services to identify roadway design and infrastructure factors influencing Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in mitigating rural roadway departure crashes. This effort aims to optimize the safety benefits of ADAS technologies by improving roadway geometry and infrastructure. This is a non-set-aside, Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) purchase order. Quotations are due May 11, 2026, by 11:00 am ET.
Scope of Work
The objective is to conduct a comprehensive review and assessment of geometric design elements and infrastructure factors that optimize the performance of Roadway Departure (RwD) prevention ADAS technologies (e.g., LDW, LKA, LCA). Key tasks include:
- Task 1: 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. This involves a data-driven process using GIS, image-based extraction, analysis of historical crash data, and safety analysis to identify factors affecting RwD avoidance ADAS performance on rural roads.
- Task 3: Prepare a comprehensive technical report, including outlines, drafts, and final versions, along with presentation materials.
- Task 4: Develop marketing and outreach materials, such as a peer-reviewed journal/conference paper or a webinar.
