  1. Advanced Transportation Management System (ATMS) in Central Broward County Melissa Ackert, E.I. FDOT Matt Wilson, P.E. Jacobs Engineering

  2. Introduction • Overview of the ATMS in Central Broward Design Build Project • RFP and Minimum Technical Requirements • Design process • Design Complexities • Integration/Implementation Plan • FDOT and Broward County’s Plan for Arterial Operations

  3. Goal of the Project Improve the efficiency of the existingTransportation system through: • Establish a System for Real Time Performance Monitoring • Detect the causes of non-recurring congestion • Understand the recurring congestion patterns • Active Arterial Management • Incident management • Traveler information dissemination • Signal retiming

  4. ATMS Benefits • Increased motorists awareness of travel time and vehicular incidents • Emergency Pre-Emption and transit signal priority will allow emergency vehicles and buses to travel faster, safer • Improved incident response time through early detection • Data collected used to adjust traffic signals to improve timing and flow of traffic • Reduced fuel consumption • Reduced emissions • Reduced accidents caused by congestion, speed differential and sudden lane changing • Reduced in secondary accidents • Reduced delays • Increased average travel speed • Increased trip reliability

  5. Project Area

  6. ATMS in Central Broward County Project Components Construction Timeline Summer 2012-Fall 2013 COST: $8.9 million Contractor: World Fiber Technologies, Inc. Lane Closures: Limited impact on the communities surrounding and within the project limits. • 31.8 miles of fiber optic communication infrastructure • Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) Cameras • Arterial Dynamic Message Signs (ADMS) • Opticom devices for emergency pre-emption and Transit Signal Priority System (TSPS) devices • Microwave Vehicle Detection Sensors (MVDS) • Travel Time System (TTS) readers (AVI and Bluetooth)

  7. ATMS in Central Broward County - Devices Arterial DMS • MAC Address matching system for travel time and origin destination measures (on new poles or existing mast arms) • AVI Travel TimeSystem • CCTV and MVDS on Poles and Existing Mast Arms

  8. Design Process • Key MTR Requirements • 100% CCTV camera coverage • Cameras to be mounted on poles with lowering devices • Providing complete camera coverage • Bucket truck survey to replicate installed camera video.

  9. Daytime Video

  10. Nighttime video

  11. Design Complexities • MVDS midblock spacing • Travel time sensor spacing at origin and destination points (also at DMS locations) New DMS locations TT Detectors and MVDS locations

  12. Design Process (Cont’d) • Design variation was required due to mounting proposed CCTV cameras on existing trusses and mast arms • Structural analysis required on existing mast arms selected for camera mount per PPM 25.4.26 • Release of underground conduit and pull box component plan set to expedite construction.

  13. Design Process (Cont’d) • Utility Coordination with numerous utility owners • Proposed device locations do not interfere with existing overhead and underground utilities • Design and construction Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) investigation was utilized to achieve this. • Verification of existing fiber optic infrastructure to connect with the proposed ATMS network

  14. Design Process (Cont’d) • Co-locating ATMS devices where feasible to reduce construction costs • Permit approval process with local permitting agencies

  15. Integration and Implementation • SunGuide to run ITS devices • Developed new plugin for BlueTOAD travel time and origin destination reports (provides real time input into SunGuide for TMC operators) • AVI module to be used in conjunction to compare technologies • New H.264 video stream driver • All ITS devices are to be integrated and tested in SunGuide • Signal System is separate • Opticom integrated into signal system

  16. Lessons Learned • Device location acceptance before substantial design starts • Underground conduit and pull box component set was released to start construction • Double stack concept plans not preferred, little room for details

  17. Operations and Maintenance of ATMS: After ATMs is complete, next steps • Fall 2013 • Partnerships – FDOT and Local Agencies • Capitalize on strengths and pool resources • Master Plan for Defined Network • Development of Arterial Management Process • Palm Beach County Living Laboratory • Research projects

  18. Partnerships • Operations and Maintenance • Agency strengths and resources to be pooled for maximum efficiency • In house skills, ITS devices and ATMS software • Investigate ways for FDOT District 4 to enhance arterial O&M programs • Objective – performance based arterial O&M program 1. Method for reporting demand is defined 2. Identify Critical Trends 3. Identify demand Thresholds 4. What can we do to prevent /alleviate network breakdown? When should these strategies be implemented? 5. How do the strategies impact the network? Demand Based Signal Retiming 6.Demonstrate

  19. Partnerships • Research underway in which local agencies co-manage with FDOT • Demand Based Signal Retiming • Coordinated Pre-Preemption of Traffic Signals to Enhance Railroad Grade Crossing Safety in Urban Areas and Estimation of Train Impacts to Arterial Travel Time Delay • Both focus on using existing tools (signal system, system software and data collection devices)

  20. Expansion of ATMS On a Defined network • Freeway ITS + Arterial ATMS • Partnership with local agencies

  21. Palm Beach County Living Lab • The principle goal for the TSM&O “Living Laboratory” is to begin the utilization of TSM&O principles in a controlled environment for a limited number of arterial roadways in order to identify key elements and the requirements of the process. • Accomplished through PBC and FDOT partnership • Primary Deliverable: Scalable SOGs that can be applied in Broward County

  22. Palm Beach County Living Lab • Starting with a plan with clear objectives and targets • Sample:

  23. Assessing Program effectiveness • Palm Beach County Living Laboratory • Develop active management strategies • Develop arterial performance measures • Develop interagency partnerships & coordination • Deliverable: Scalable SOGs

  24. Palm Beach County Living Lab • Accomplishments to date • Created an event management database • Started the development of a plugin to interface with FL 511 (without SunGuide) • Investigating existing plugins for use to connect arterial Travel Time information to FL 511 (without SunGuide) • Started operating arterials with PBC in early October 2012 • 7am to 7pm, operator follows monitoring plan • Weekly reports • Performance Dashboard and Business Plan updated monthly
