Invitation to preliminary market consultation — delivery of real-time traffic data to the Danish Road Directorate.
The Danish Road Directorate (DRD) wishes to invite up to 5 potential suppliers to participate in a preliminary market consultation prior to the DRD's decision on future procurement of real-time traffic data. The preliminary market consultation concerns the delivery of real-time traffic data where the location reference is based on GNSS-technology.
The meetings will be held on 4.9.2017 and 5.9.2017 at the DRD, 49 Carsten Niebuhrs Gade, 1577 Copenhagen V.
For individual meetings with each supplier there will be 1½ hours. There will be about 40 minutes for the supplier's presentation of products, solutions and experiences, and then about 50 minutes for dialogue between the supplier and the DRD. Meetings are carried through in English and/or Danish where appropriate.
The purpose of conducting this market consultation is for the DRD to gain knowledge about what types of real-time traffic data products the market can deliver most cost effectively at present, and what the market expects the situation will be 1 to 2 years ahead. Furthermore, the DRD wants to gain knowledge about what types of data for statistical applications for the major road network in Denmark the market can deliver.
In general, what are the cost drivers? Does the supplier have suggestions on ways to procure real-time data in the most cost effective way? The DRD is focused on reducing the numbers of usages and costs in relation to real-time traffic data and, therefore it is important to gain understanding of which products can provide the greatest value at the lowest costs as well as other cost drivers.
What types of standard products does the supplier currently have for real-time applications in Denmark?
— The possibility of saving the real-time data feed at the Danish Road Directorate and using it for historical analysis.
— What types of standard products does the supplier currently have for statistical applications in Denmark?
— How long a period is covered by historical data? I.e. for how many years does the supplier have historical data?
— Data divided into vehicle types? I.e. how is the distribution of data collected by the supplier between different vehicle types?
— Real-time data is in some locations and periods not based on a real-time observation. What is the share and methods behind the historical based data merge and is it easily recognizable in both the re-al time feed and the historical data?
— Will the supplier be able to deliver raw position data, which has been cleaned to the extent that current legislation is complied with at national and EU level as well as the forthcoming European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)?
What are the options for delivering real-time traffic data on different segmentations of the road network? Does the supplier have experience with cost effective ways of dealing with the segmentation issue?
