Procurement of a CDN solution for Road Camera Video

The purpose of this procurement is to establish a modern, scalable video streaming solution for traffic cameras, replacing the current outdated system which no longer supports further development. The new solution will enhance the Norwegian Public Roads Administration’s (Statens Vegvesen) capabilities in traffic monitoring and emergency preparedness, while also improving access to real-time video data for both internal and external stakeholders. The scope includes the delivery of a system that supports approximately 840 road cameras currently in use for traffic information, surveillance, and emergency response. Of these, 125 cameras are video-enabled to provide real-time footage to the public and traffic operators. The solution must cater to the needs of internal traffic operators as well as external users who rely on timely and accurate traffic video data.
