Camera Sensor Systems for High Speed Vehicle Data Collection

The Florida Department of Transportation, through its Transportation Data & Analytics Office, is seeking information from vendors on AI-enabled camera sensor systems designed for continuous, high-accuracy vehicle data collection across the Florida State Highway System. This Request for Information, identified as DOT-RFI-26-9086-SJ, was posted on June 8, 2026, with an extended response deadline of July 10, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. EST. Vendor responses are strictly for informational use and will not form the basis of any binding contract; however, the data gathered will inform the development of future procurement documents under F.S. 287.057. The system must achieve at least 95% accuracy in classifying all 13 FHWA vehicle types under all conditions, estimate vehicle speeds within ±5% at highway speeds of 70 mph or higher, operate reliably 24/7 in extreme environments including rain, fog, salt air, high humidity, and temperatures from -10°C to 60°C, and support infrared or low-light imaging for nighttime functionality. The solution must perform on-device AI inference to minimize bandwidth use, integrate seamlessly with FDOT’s Transportation Data Management Systems, and comply with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework for secure data handling. Vendors are expected to provide detailed technical specifications, environmental performance data, case studies, system architecture diagrams, and maintenance models via email to Eric Griffin at eric.griffin@dot.state.fl.us. All submissions become public record under F.S. Chapter 119, and respondents remain eligible for any future competitive bidding. The NAICS code associated with this effort is 43211718, and no pricing, delivery schedules, or evaluation criteria are included as this is strictly an information-gathering tool. Any subsequent formal solicitation will be announced on the Florida Vendor Information Portal.
