INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS (ITS) USES ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS TO COLLECT REAL-TIME TRAFFIC INFORMATION TO MANAGE ROADWAY OPERATIONS

FDOT District Six uses Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) devices and applications to actively manage traffic in South Florida. The devices are deployed throughout the state roadway system and collect critical traffic data such as volumes and speeds in real-time. The field data is sent to the SunGuide Transportation Management Center (STMC), where traffic operators use this information to monitor the roadways for incident detection, roadway clearance, traveler information, and arterial management.

ITS devices include closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras, dynamic message signs (DMS), roadway detectors, and other technologies. FDOT began implementing the systems in the late 1990s. Today, District Six has manages over 280 centerline miles of roadways with ITS infrastructure. 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 with additional roads being planned.

ITS DEVICES

Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras provide live video of traffic conditions along the state roadway system, enabling traffic operators at the STMC to monitor roadway conditions in real time.

Roadway Detectors collect traffic volume and speed data to show roadway performance for traffic management purposes.

Dynamic Message Signs (DMS) are overhead electronic signs that post traffic alerts to inform drivers about roadway traffic conditions.
