Using the “Cloud” in Daily Operations

2. BLUETOOTH TRAVEL TIME SYSTEM
Purchase of over 160 units
Installed on State corridors and City roads
Logistic approach on secondary roads
Works as a point detection unit tied to paths
Over 200 plus miles of road coverage
Cost was under $1.1 million with five year support

3. HOW IT WORKS
The devices capture the unique MAC address of the BlueTooth device in the vehicle and the Travel Time is calculated by the Trafficcast Server when a match is seen.

4. BLUETOOTH TRAVEL TIME SYSTEM
Devices from Traffic Cast
The Trademarked device name is BlueTOAD.
Initial deployment shown is on I-95 and US 1, which parallel each other in this area.

15. Bridge Monitoring During Weather Events
Determining when to close a bridge due to severe weather requires onsite monitoring
Today, this bridge monitoring is problematic:
Wind-speed data is gathered by law enforcement as severe weather approaches
Inefficient use of public safety resources
Dangerous for deployed personnel
Data-collecting is sometimes inaccurate
Dissemination of data is not always timely
Bridge Closure During
Hurricane Ivan in the Panhandle

16. Free Satellite Service For Bridge Monitoring
On April 29, 2010 FDOT received approval from NOAA to use the DCS satellite system
On May 5, 2010 NOAA assigned satellite communications channels to FDOT on the “GOES-12” environmental monitoring satellite
