The contract covers the supply, operation and maintenance of the CTM systems, together with data services that include the provision for real-time display via web access.

Seventy-two permanent traffic monitoring sites currently in operation on six of the eight major islands will be incorporated into this project. More sites will be added during the term of the project. The sites and the data collected will be consistent with guidelines published in the current 831 Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Traffic Monitoring Guide (TMG).
