The Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) advanced transportation systems rely on powerful, smart applications that use advanced technologies to improve how we travel. These tools collect and process real-time data to deliver accurate traffic updates, navigation assistance, public transit tracking, automated toll payments, and smart parking solutions. Florida’s transportation network is supported by a suite of advanced applications designed to manage traffic in real time, enhance safety, and improve coordination across agencies and modes of travel.

Tools like Automated Traffic Signal Performance Measures (ATSPM) and Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP) optimize signal timing and prioritize emergency response, while the Back-of-Queue Warning System helps prevent collisions by alerting drivers and operators to sudden congestion. Data Integration and Video Aggregation platforms consolidate information from traffic cameras, sensors, and GPS to give operators a comprehensive view of roadway conditions, enabling efficient rerouting and interagency coordination during incidents. The Florida 511 System provides real-time traffic maps, travel times, and alerts to support informed travel decisions.

The data collected with these applications feeds into the ITS Facility Management (ITSFM) system, ensuring seamless coordination between FDOT districts, tolling authorities, and other local agencies.

To keep both incoming and outgoing data safe, FDOT uses the Security Credential Management System (SCMS), ensuring secure and trusted communication between vehicles and infrastructure, protecting users from cybersecurity threats.

Together, these applications form a powerful, interconnected ecosystem that enhances mobility, reduces congestion, and supports a safer, smarter transportation future for Florida. For transportation agencies, these applications provide critical insights to monitor systems, respond to incidents, and optimize operations. For travelers, they offer a smoother, more connected, and more reliable experience, making every journey smarter from start to finish.
