Keys COAST Connected and Automated Vehicle (CAV) Project

The Florida Keys Connecting Overseas to Advance Safe Travel (Keys COAST) will be the first of its kind connected and automated vehicle (CAV) project being led by FDOT District 6. The project will be located on the US 1 in Monroe County from MM 0.0 to MM 112.5. The project will establish connectivity between various modes (cars, trucks, buses, pedestrians, bicyclists, and emergency vehicles) and a connected vehicle traffic signal system (CVTSS) along with other systems such as mid‐block pedestrian crossings, weigh‐in‐motion (WIM), drawbridge, and emergency signals. The project concept includes roadside units (RSUs) capable of Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) and cellular communications, a cloud‐based information dissemination platform, customized software applications, a real‐time traffic signal performance monitoring system, on‐board units (OBUs), smartphone on‐board units, and bike‐ped safety applications. Automated Traffic Signal Performance Measures (ATSPM) will be established to determine the effectiveness of the project and to allow for real‐time performance monitoring.

Krome Avenue

This project will be implemented along SR 997 Krome Avenue from SR 998/Campbell Drive to SR25/US 27/Okeechobee Road.  Project updates will include the installation of ITS technology along 33.8 miles of Krome Avenue in Miami-Dade County.

Okeechobee Road Reconstruction Projects

This project is targeted mainly at improving freight mobility and reliability along this important roadway. ITS and TSM&O improvements were conceptualized during the Project Development and Environment (PD&E) phase, and will be implemented in subsequent project phases. FDOT is also partnering with Miami-Dade County as they develop their plans for communications, controllers and deploying cameras. This partnership is important so that all the TSM&O assets can be leveraged effectively. The design of these projects is currently underway. Construction is expected to begin in late 2020.

Wrong Way Driving Detection Systems

This project is installing Wrong Way Driving Detection Systems along 90 locations in District Six to reduce wrong-way driving incidents with the intention of helping motorists properly identify interstate exit ramps and avoid entering them the wrong way.

SunGuide TMC Video Wall Replacement

District Six Sunguide Transportation Management Center (TMC) will upgrade its existing video wall with state-of-the-art technology that will improve image display resolution, take up less space, and ensure long-term sustainability.

Palmetto Express Improvement Project – Golden Glades Interchange

This project consists of continuing the managed lanes system along SR 826/Palmetto Expressway from NW 154 Street to the Golden Glades Interchange (GGI). The project is currently in the design phase, for more information, please visit www.fdotmiamidade.com.

ITS Device Replacement Project

This project consist of replacing 26 Dynamic Message Signs with full-color LED Matrix signs the replacement of nine DMS structures, the installation of two DMS confirmation CCTV cameras and one MVDS. Electrical service wires will be replaced with new conductors and power service points will also be upgraded, including support pole, panel board, meter can, surge suppression device, grounding and circuit breakers.

City of Key West Traffic Signal Systems

This project expanded the Monroe County Traffic Signal System (MCTSS) along the State Highway System in the City of Key West. This improved the city’s traffic signal infrastructure, added wireless routers, upgraded traffic signal controllers, added a backup power supply system at each traffic signal, and retrofitted cabinet doors for easier police access. Arterial management software was also upgraded allowing for remote management from the SunGuide Transportation Management Center (TMC).

Infrastructure to Vehicle for incident Management Pilot Project

This pilot project installed connected incident response vehicle technology on the fleet of Incident Response Vehicles (IRV) to connect motorists with roadway infrastructure and navigation applications in real-time. This technology is used when IRV operators activate their arrow board to manage an event which sends an alert to nearby drivers. This is an example of Infrastructure to Vehicle (I2V) communication which improves traveler information efforts and safety on the roadway.

Adaptive Signal Control Technology (ASCT) along NW 119 Street

FDOT implemented Adaptive Signal Control Technology (ASCT) along NW 119 Street and NW 27 Avenue in Miami-Dade County. The project consists of 15 signalized intersections along NW 119 Street from west of NW 32 Avenue to NW 5 Avenue, and along NW 27 Avenue from NW 110 Street to NW 119 Street.

Palmetto Express Lanes from SW 8 Street to US-1 PD&E Study

This PD&E Study proposed corridor improvements to add highway and interchange capacity, along with the implementation of an express lanes system and interchange improvements.  For more information, please visit www.fdotmiamidade.com.

Palmetto Express Lanes from West Flagler Street to I-75

This project consists of implementing a managed lanes system along SR 826/Palmetto Expressway from West Flagler Street to NW 154 Street, and along I-75 from SR 826/Palmetto Expressway to NW 170 Street in Miami-Dade County. The project is approximately 13 miles long and features a new four-lane tolled managed lanes facility in the existing median, as well as ramp signals along several ingress points along the roadway. For more information, please visit www.palmettoexpresslanes.com.

Monroe County Traffic Signal System

The Department began the operations and maintenance of 17 signalized intersections, 10 emergency signals and 26 beacons from MM 4.4 (US 1/North Roosevelt Blvd and Cross Street) in Key West to MM 106.5 (US-1/Overseas Highway and CR 905) in Key Largo..

ITS Device Improvements along the Golden Glades Interchange (GGI)

This project replaced Dynamic Message Signs (DMS) along the freeway and arterial roadways; installed Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras; assembled ramp signals at ingress points; and installed MVDS or Automatic Vehicle Identification within the Golden Glades Interchange flyover.

95 Express Phase 1

This project established the express lanes along southbound I-95 from just south of Miami Gardens Drive to just north of State Road 836, as well as activated 14 Ramp Signals — 12 along southbound entrance points from Ives Dairy Road to NW 62nd Street, as well as two more on I-95’s northbound side (at Miami Gardens Drive and Ives Dairy Road). Phase 1 was completed in early 2010.

I-395 ITS Deployment

The I-395 ITS design-build deployment has construction limits along I-395 between I-95 and Alton Road; along Biscayne Boulevard between I-395 and Port Boulevard; and along Port Boulevard between Biscayne Boulevard and the Port of Miami Administration Building. The system includes the following components: 10 CCTV cameras; 10 detectors; one DMS; and 72 strand fiber optic cable. As this project area serves the Port of Miami, so will these devices and provide future integration among the TMC and the Port of Miami operations. The project was completed in February 2010.

SR-826 ITS Deployment

The State Road (SR) 826 ITS design-build deployment, between NW 25th Street and NW 122nd Street, includes the following components: six new CCTV cameras and the integration of four existing CCTV cameras; three DMS; 37 detectors; and 72 strand fiber optic cable. The project was constructed in February 2010.

SR-5/US-1 ITS Design-Build Deployment

This project was the state’s first arterial ITS deployment tying into a FDOT TMC. The ITS system runs along US 1 between SW 17th Avenue and SW 112th Avenue (approximately 17 miles), includes the following components: 17 Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras and four dynamic message signs (DMS); six detectors; 96 strand fiber-optic cable (installed 36 strand fiber optic cable for Miami-Dade Transit); and two communications hub buildings. The system was installed in July 2008.
