537-27 Origin-Destination Data Services

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is seeking the services of qualified Proposers to provide Origin-Destination (OD) data via a web-based interface.  Included with the data shall be a mechanism to query the underlying data set for various use cases.  The proposed data solution should be responsive to the following key usages:

1. Regional OD flows between geographies either user-defined (typically Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs)) or standardized (census tracts, counties);
2. OD flows on and the travel sheds of a given segment of roadway;
3. OD flows (matching ODOT supplied volume totals) between any 2 roadway segments for example to determine the weaving movements on a freeway;
4. Understanding different components of that flow, most importantly distinguishing mode of travel (cars, trucks, buses, bikes and pedestrians);
5. Understanding temporal changes in OD flows and characteristics;

Access to the data shall be internet account based and available to employees of ODOT, Local Governments, Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), Universities, Transit Agencies and Other State of Ohio Agencies.  While account access will not generally be given to private entities, ODOT or an approved Ohio public agency account holder shall be able to provide the OD query results to a consultant(s) or a similar private entity working on their projects solely for use in that project.  Approved account holders shall also be allowed to temporarily provide access to the OD data query tool to a private entity (such as a consultant) in order to perform queries solely for the purpose of working on that public agency’s project.  At the conclusion of the project work that requires the OD information, access to the OD data will be withdrawn from the private entity
