Interoperability / Architecture
For Topic 26-OS2, are there preferred interoperability standards, data schemas, APIs, geospatial formats, or architecture expectations for compatibility with State DOT systems, commercial telematics platforms, freight carrier systems, and visualization tools such as ArcGIS, Power BI, or Tableau?

USDOT does not mandate specific data schemas or geospatial formats for Phase I, but there are interoperability expectations. Instead of prescribing specific interoperability schemas, Phase I places the responsibility on the offeror to define them. Phase I deliverables should include a "Data Inventory and Integration Plan" that details specific "data integration strategy defining access methods, availability, and preprocessing steps," alongside a "Conceptual Architecture and System Design" that shows how these streams will be integrated. The proposed Phase I schemas and APIs should clearly demonstrate a scalable path to meeting the broader compatibility requirements outlined for Phase II.
