FDOT ITS Specifications Development
Home Projects Newsletters Library Contacts

 

 

The purpose of this project is to develop minimum specifications and standard drawings for ITS devices deployed in Florida. The specifications created as a result of this effort are being provided to the FDOT Specifications Office for review, distribution, comment, final editing, and ultimate inclusion in the Workbook of Implemented Modifications to the Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction. Other project design requirements for ITS deployments will be included in the FDOT’s Plans Preparation Manual, and typical drawings will be published in the Design Standards.

The equipment specifications have been arranged into the following groups according to device type. They will be found in Workbook sections 780 through 786:
