Second Generation Ramp Metering

Highways England is looking to appoint a supplier to provide the following goods and services which may be deployed anywhere on the strategic road network in England: • Roadside equipment including signal heads, mounting posts, vehicle detection and signal control.

This roadside equipment will be required to communicate with a central application performing the metering algorithms and interacting with other sources of data and traffic control sub-systems.

The relevant sub-systems would need to integrate with CHARM using openly available interface standards and protocols (e.g.

UTMC, DATEXII); • To support the equipment, Highways England will also require commissioning and maintenance services and software support.

Please note the future opportunity outlined in this RFI will be tendered through Lot 2 (Traffic Signals and Ramp Metering) of Crown Commercial Service’s RM869 Traffic Management Technology framework so you will need to consider partnership options with the incumbent suppliers listed at: http://ccs-agreements.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/suppliers?sm_field_contract_id=%22RM869%3A2%22 Please indicate your interest in attending the pre-tender workshop by 27th August.’
