Summary

This document presents the Phase 2 Comprehensive Acquisition Plan (CAP) for the Georgia Department of Transportation’s (GDOT) “Safe Trips in a Connected Transportation Network” (ST-CTN) project, part of the USDOT’s ITS4US Deployment Program. The project aims to enhance mobility, safety, and accessibility for underserved populations, including individuals with disabilities, older adults, and those with limited English proficiency. The ST-CTN initiative integrates advanced transportation technologies—such as connected vehicles, transit signal priority, machine learning, and predictive analytics—to support complete trip planning and navigation. The CAP serves as a strategic roadmap for procuring necessary equipment and services, ensuring alignment with federal, state, and local regulations while providing transparency to stakeholders and a reference for future similar deployments. The acquisition strategy leverages existing infrastructure and partnerships to minimize redundant procurement. The project is structured around four primary subsystems: G-MAP (a multi-modal trip planner based on open-source software), the Space Time Memory (STM) platform for traffic prediction, Connected Vehicle (CV) infrastructure, and a Performance Measurement Dashboard (PMD). Most software development and cloud resources for these subsystems are acquired through the Phase 2/Phase 3 ITS4US Deployment Program award, with development handled by partners such as Arcadis IBI Group, Georgia Tech, and ICF. Hardware components, particularly CV roadside units, are procured via purchase orders under existing contracts from the CV1K project. The primary new acquisition within the project’s scope is an Indoor Navigation System (INS), which will be procured via purchase order to provide precise location data for users inside transit hubs. The document details specific procurement methods, including Purchase Orders (PO), Requests for Information (RFI), and Requests for Qualifications/Proposals (RFQ/RFP). POs are identified as the most expeditious method, executable within 30 days, while RFI/RFP processes may take 6–8 months, and RFQ/RFP processes 8–9 months. Vendor outreach is conducted through the Georgia Procurement Registry and direct contact with known vendors to ensure a competitive environment. The plan also outlines technical requirements for the INS, including integration with the G-MAP subsystem to support routing algorithms based on user preferences and accessibility needs. The significance of this CAP lies in its role as a living document that guides the transparent and efficient deployment of complex intelligent transportation systems. By leveraging existing deployments like the CV1K program and open-source tools, the project reduces costs and accelerates implementation. The plan provides a replicable model for other agencies seeking to deploy similar connected transportation solutions, offering vetted examples of equipment, vendors, and acquisition workflows. Ultimately, the ST-CTN project seeks to demonstrate how integrated technology can create safer, more accessible, and reliable travel experiences for all users, particularly those historically marginalized in transportation planning.

Key finding

The document establishes a structured acquisition framework for the ST-CTN project, identifying the Indoor Navigation System as the key new procurement while leveraging existing connected vehicle and transit infrastructure through purchase orders and project awards.
