Technical requirements: Road Space Management (RSM) collects data for strategic and operational monitoring, network management and network development. This involves the management and delivery of a large number and wide variety of traffic surveys that it is currently not practical, or possible to collect using automatic techniques. The Traffic Survey team in Outcomes, Insight and Analysis (OIA) within Outcomes Delivery (OD) is responsible for management of this survey programme. The procurement will be tendered in five (5) Lots. This procurement will follow the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 — Competitive Procedure with Negotiation.
TfL OIA has identified a requirement for external resources to support Temporary Automatic Traffic Count Surveys (TATC). TfL does not have in-house resource capability to conduct Temporary Automatic Traffic Counting Surveys using a non-invasive radar or infra red technology. Therefore external resources will be required when demand for such monitoring arrives. At present, TfL OIA is unable to estimate the scale of the potential TATC workload. However it is reasonable to assume that a maximum of 60 weeks (work hours) of temporary ATCs will be commissioned each year across multiple sites.
TfL OIA has identified a requirement for external resources to support video surveys of traffic flows at large complex road junctions as well as general video recording of behaviours in the London Area. TfL does not have in-house resource capability to conduct Video Surveys. Therefore external resources will be required when demand for such monitoring arrives. At present, TfL OIA is unable to estimate the scale of the potential workload. However it is reasonable to assume that the surveying of a maximum of 20 complex junctions will be commissioned each year.
TfL OIA has identified a requirement for external resources to support manual classified traffic counts. TfL has a limited level of in-house resource capability to conduct manual count surveys. Therefore external resources will be required when the volume of demand for monitoring exceeds TfL OIA's ability to undertake them. At present, TfL OIA is unable to estimate the scale of the potential workload. However it is reasonable to assume that in the region of 250 individual counts will be commissioned each year.
TfL OIA has identified a requirement for external resources to support traffic survey data entry information collected from a variety of manual traffic counts. TfL OIA has a limited level of in-house resource capability to conduct traffic survey data entry. Therefore external resource will be required when the volume of demand for monitoring exceeds TfL OIA's ability to undertake them. At present TfL OIA is unable to estimate the scale of the potential workload.
TfL OIA has identified a requirement for external resources to support traffic surveys of origin destination pairs that are required within an area of London using number plate matching. All vehicle movements to be captured within the study area and reports will take the form of a matrix showing all movements (including ‘u’ turns).
