Specific Geometric Constraints?
Are there specific geometric constraints or dimensional ranges – such as grate aperture size, basin depth, or internal geometry variation across common US designs – that the proposed solution must accommodate to be considered broadly applicable across a typical state DOT inventory?

The problem statement includes 6 references that describe sewer grates. The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials and the Federal Highway Administration, have design guidelines and specifications, and most state highway agencies have hydraulic design standards. Large state DOTs such as CalTrans may have commonly used designs because of their market share. Companies that sell drainage components commonly provide design drawings to facilitate procurement.
