FDOT District Six uses ITS applications to monitor traffic in southeast Florida 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Operators housed at the  SunGuide Transportation Management Center (TMC) gather traffic data from a series of ITS roadway devices, including closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras, dynamic message signs (DMS), roadway detectors, and adaptive signal controls technologies (ASCT). The devices connect back to the TMC via fiber-optic communications and are managed by the statewide ITS software, SunGuide.

This information is used to manage traffic conditions and optimize roadway safety and performance.  This allows operators to detect traffic slow downs, coordinate incident clearance efforts, post traffic alerts on our traveler information resources and maximize arterial traffic flow.

FDOT began implementing ITS in the late 1990s. Today, District Six has equipped over 250 centerline miles of roadways with ITS devices. These roadways include Interstates 75, 95, 195, 395, State Road 826/Palmetto Expressway, State Road 5/ US-1, State Road 9 and Card Sound Road.
