This project involved the installation of Vehicle Detection Systems (VDS) at 142 locations throughout Washington, DC. This construction included furnishing and installing sensors, wireless communication devices, field modems and repeaters; all connections, conduit, wiring, cables and associated mounting hardware; and connecting the system to the existing traffic controller communications network.

The project also involved the integration and testing of all modems, servers, equipment, hardware, central software and firmware necessary to implement a fully functional VDS system; training to District Department of Transportation personnel in the installation, maintenance and operation of the permanent equipment and software; and documentation of all design, system, interface, maintenance and operational documentation to DDOT.
