• This system is intended to be used at the roadside, exposed to sun, rain, heat, cold and dust.
• The system must operate in the temperature range from -20 to +50
• The interface shall have sufficient contrast to be usable in bright sunlight conditions.
• It shall be a solid-state electronic device in weatherproof housing, though it is not expected that the system would be deployed or operated in conditions where it would be fully submerged in water.
• Any connectors that must be exposed for battery charging or data transfer should have a weatherproof cover.
• Operating power shall be provided by batteries with capabilities to be recharged.
• The batteries must be sufficient to provide enough power to collect data for a solid 48 hours without charging.
3. Legal
• The system shall ensure that all visual data, including images and video imagery captured by the camera, are permanently purged from all active and backup storage sources.
• Agency accepts either twenty-four (24) hours after recording or immediately following the completion of traffic data processing from the respective video.
4. Data collection
• The system will be used to collect traffic volumes, speed data, FHWA axle based 15-vehicle category classification (see below), turning movement, turning movement by classifications, and pedestrian data.
• Data configuration from this interface must include time or date, location identifier, and GPS coordinates that must be included in the output file.
• The system must be able to be set up and configured by a technician in rural as well as urban locations.
• The system would be compatible with a windows-based operating system and connect to a laptop in the field by a modem.
