The phase 1 study should focus on the catch basin inspection itself. Once field trials on public roads commence the researchers will need to coordinate with the roadway owners to follow public safety rules. Because of the number of catchbasins that must be inspected, the ideal design at the end of a second phase (if it is awarded) would be a self contained unit. Laws or regulations in some jurisdictions may preclude a truly independent unit, especially if it has to stop to do an inspection.
