Diverse Local Traffic Data Clarification
For Topic 26-FH1, the solicitation refers to “diverse local traffic data.” Can FHWA clarify whether this phrase is limited to traditional traffic operations data, such as vehicle detectors, connected vehicle data, signal data, and third-party traffic feeds, or whether proposers may define a broader set of transportation-relevant local data sources, provided they explain how those sources support congestion detection, prediction, impact-zone definition, or mitigation strategy generation?

SBIR Applicants are encouraged to leverage legacy data but are free to incorporate any other accessible data sources they deem necessary and support Phase II implementation.
Phase I does not require live data testing for the proposed system. Archived historical data sources, which can be readily substituted by real-time data feeds, may be used for the test.
