Project Number (if applicable) 97531W02

Summarize purpose of the contract, including why it was necessary: This contract provided an independent evaluation of the Arterial Real-Time Traveler Information – Commercial Probe Data Project. This project evaluation assisted MnDOT in the assessment of the accuracy and quality of the speed and travel time data delivered as part of the project. The results of the evaluation provided MnDOT with the information needed to make future decisions regarding the purchase of commercial probe data.

Product or Result of the Contract:
• A detailed Final Report with findings and recommendations to be used for future decision making processes.
• A PowerPoint presentation with findings and recommendations for State use.

The contract was necessary to secure an independent, third party evaluation of this demonstration project so that unbiased decisions could be made for future applications. A consultant was considered reasonable for this work as the State Traffic Control staff with the necessary expertise was closely involved with the implementation of the demonstration project and potential for bias would exist if they were also involved in the evaluation.
