We introduce the I-24 Mobility Technology Interstate Observation Network (MOTION), a transportation cyber-physical systems testbed under development in Tennessee. It consists of a six mile interstate roadway segment instrumented with 400 4K resolution cameras,processed by a real-time compute system to enable continuous performance monitoring of freeway traffic. The testbed is being developed to support next generation connected and autonomous vehicle technologies and advanced traffic management. When complete, the testbed will be the longest continuously observed freeway segment in the world. This presentation discusses the core design choices, details the algorithms used for data processing, and outlines the preliminary work conducted to support the design.
