9 iflorida This is a statewide project awarded by the FHWA. The following are the bundled project descriptions and status: Central Florida Field Components This project will provide most of the field elements to be implemented in the Central Florida area as part of iflorida. Several other projects that are also part of iflorida are dependent upon the completion and timely execution of this project. This project is broken into six subprojects, as follows: Travel Time Data Collection; Arterial CCTV Cameras; Telecommunication Network Enhancements; Variable Speed Limit Trial; SR 528 Corridor Monitoring System; and Brevard County Agency Integration. This project has been awarded as a Design Bid Build Project and is currently under design. Conditions System This project, a key component of the iflorida model deployment program, will be designed and implemented at the FDOT District 5 s RTMC. The Conditions System is an Internetbased information system designed to collect, fuse, and disseminate transportation system conditions on the Florida Intrastate Highway System (FIHS) throughout the state as well as more detailed and multi-modal conditions in the Central Florida region. The Conditions System shall initially incorporate automated data from the FHP s Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system, FDOT s Surveillance Systems, the Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority s Travel Time Data Server, and segment weather conditions, alerts, and forecasts to be provided as part of the iflorida model deployment program. The Conditions System shall include an operator interface to enable appropriate personnel from FDOT, its partner agencies, and approved private contractors and consultants, to enter incident and event reports directly into the information system, both from the RTMC and remotely via a password protected, standard Internet browser. The Conditions System shall also serve as the main statewide traveler information Internet Web site portal. This project is currently under an Invitation to Negotiate with three shortlisted firms. RTMC Vulnerability and Speedway Evacuation Assessment The primary goal of this assessment is to increase Florida s pool of knowledge for homeland security preparedness. Lessons learned from this assessment will have immediate transferability to FDOT s RTMCs (existing and planned), and use for other special events and major attractions nationwide. It is recognized that planning for, and any response to, terrorist attacks requires a high degree of coordination among (and within) many agencies, including the FDOT. These coordination activities will address many of the broader issues and protocols that are necessary for effective emergency management associated with terrorist attacks, such as continuity of government and operations, collocation, and interoperability of systems. This assessment will identify any associated coordination activities needed to enhance preparedness and response. Within this primary goal are some specific objectives that relate to the two elements of the assessment: - To better understand the vulnerabilities of an FDOT RTMC, and identify measures that will prevent an RTMC from being shut down through either physical plant disruption (e.g., fire, bomb, etc.) or electronic means (e.g., computer viruses, erroneous data, reprogrammed software, etc.), and mitigate the consequences of any such event. The findings of the vulnerability assessment will be structured such that they can be transferred as security guidelines to other existing and planned RTMCs; and - To enhance coordination between the Daytona International Speedway, transportation, law enforcement, fire, rescue, and emergency management agencies to support an emergency evacuation during a security threat, and to facilitate response logistics, while minimizing the impact on the surrounding transportation system. This project s scope of services is currently under development. 9

10 Statewide Telemetered Traffic Monitoring System Upgrade The purpose of this project was originally to expand FDOT s ability to provide traffic and video images at 54 key locations throughout the state (specifically at TTMS sites). The project s goal was to improve communications with each of the sites in order to support real-time data collection and CCTV image collection. This project has now been formally split into two projects: (1) TTMS Video Upgrades and (2) Statewide Corridor Monitoring. TTMS Video Upgrades Trans Stats is researching technologies. Statewide Corridor Monitoring status is currently determining the locations of the microwave tower network and power sources; conducting site reviews; and determining hardwire needed. Also, monitoring technologies are being researched. National Evaluation The iflorida Program Management Support task was developed to assist the FDOT in completing Phase I of iflorida. Test plans for each of the elements as per the original Request For Authorization (RFA) are under development. A Draft Evaluation Plan with Test Plans that relate back to the original RFA is under review. Data Warehouse Expansion This project will expand the existing Central Florida Data Warehouse in several areas. New data sources will be accommodated, including Meteorlogix weather data, FHP CAD Data, operator-entered incident and event reports, statewide and Orlando area segment reports from the Conditions System, and LYNX static and CAD/Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) data, such as routes, stops, schedules, fares, schedule adherence, and automatic passenger count data. With advertisement of the Conditions System Invitation To Negotiate, FDOT and PBS&J are moving forward with revisions to the CFDW ConOps documentation in order to more accurately define the scope of this project. Security This project is for deployment of security application on Fuller Warren and Bennett Causeway bridges with connection to FHP Troop G, Districts 2 and 5 RTMCs, and Brevard County Emergency Operations Center. Vulnerability and Threat Assessments have been performed. This information will be used to determine camera placements. The contract is being finalized for this project. Network Reliability / Traffic Modeling This project will use traffic modeling to assess and develop contingency plans should damage to a major bridge make it unusable. This project will also apply either the Florida Reliability Method or a nationally accepted alternative (should one exist) to all road segments in the Central Florida area for which travel time data will be available through iflorida. There is no activity on this project scheduled until 2004 at the earliest. The Network Reliability portion of this project will not be initiated until near the beginning of the operational evaluation period and will be conducted when a full year of segment travel time data is available. Broadband Wireless The Broadband Wireless project will provide wireless fidelity- (WiFi) like broadband connectivity on strategic/limited access highways in the Orlando area. This project will have private-public partnerships and allow for an in-depth technology assessment of various interested wireless providers/vendors. This project will establish a test bed and provide the proof of concept through the field trial testing. In conjunction the broadband capabilities will support the LYNX wireless video trail as well possibly supporting the FHP Internet access on some of the on-board laptop computers The Broadband Wireless project is in the early stages of meeting coordination with key players. 10

11 Metropolitan Data Mining This project will enable the region s MPO, METROPLAN, to identify, experiment with, and evaluate how comprehensive multimodal data can be used to improve regional planning and decision-making. There will be no activity associated with this project until late 2004 or the beginning of Probe Vehicle Test This project will serve as a test bed for the application of innovative private sector probe vehicle technologies based upon active cooperation with automobile original equipment manufacturers, should FHWA cultivate such a test. This project contains funding originally allocated for Expanded Arterial Data Collection and would provide initial support needed to develop and execute a probe vehicle test. At the request of FHWA, this project has been put on hold. However, periodic communications will occur with FHWA to maintain an understanding of progress to develop a probe vehicle test within iflorida. Weather The iflorida Weather component will consist of two projects: 1) the installation of a significant number of road weather information stations (RWIS) in the Central Florida area and 2) the incorporation of this specific location data into forecast models produced by both the National Weather Service (NWS) and private sector forecasters. With the additional weather data points from these RWIS, the NWS and private sector forecasters will be able to improve spatial precision and accuracy of forecasts. This project will demonstrate the integration of weather-related data into both transportation and meteorological databases; and incorporate a locally defined weather response component for specific highway road segments. Using available NWS observational data sets from approved NWS reporting locations as well as local Florida RWIS, Meteorlogix will utilize a high resolution numerical weather prediction model to develop very specific current conditions and forecasts for each FIHS segment defined in the Conditions System. The University of North Florida (UNF) will design, procure, and install the additional RWIS to be implemented in the Central Florida area. UNF will design and provide the network interface for users to acquire the raw RWIS data for ingestion as needed by the various models. This project is currently going through contract development.

It runs from the Pinellas/Pasco county line to Main Street. The adaptive signal system SCATS will be installed to control traffic. On an area basis, SCATS selects combinations of cycle time, splits and offsets from predetermined sets of parameters and on-line calculations. SCATS then, directly optimizes traffic parameters for each subsystem based on measured activity, and then applies offsets to achieve coordination as appropriate across the network in the corridor to optimize traffic flow. The components of the project include 2070N signal controllers, additional vehicle detectors, video monitoring, DMSs, fiber optic trunk line, and a new Pasco County TMC. The project leverages the system manager/system integrator contracting strategy. FDOT, with the aid of the system manager, has acquired the ITS field devices and the SCATS software.
