HAR along the Turnpike mainline. As the DMSs come
on-line, these will be operated during incident management as well.
Through the SunGuide ATIS partnership in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm
Beach Counties, Smart Routes Systems covers the Turnpike's TMC operations
during nights, weekends, and holidays. The Turkey Lake TMC is scheduled
for initial operations in May 2002. The design and specification of
TMC equipment is complete and procurement is expected to begin in February
2002. This equipment will complete the Pompano TMC and fully populate
the Turkey Lake TMC. Design and plans preparation for Turkey Lake TMC
renovations are complete. The renovations will accommodate the video
wall, equipment racks and operator consoles.
Approx. Completion: June 2002

SunNavSM Software Development and Integration
(190766-1-32)
Release 1.0 of the SunNavSM software was installed in November 2001.
This software release provided additional functionality in the areas
of contacts, response plans, HAR, and DMS. Other enhancements included
workstation performance, aerial photos, map updates, and GUI screens.
Release 1.0 is currently under conditional acceptance pending resolution
of several items by the Software Team. Work is underway on priority
System Problems/Change Requests (SPCR's). The development of the Functional
Requirements document for SunNavSM Release 1.1 has begun and is anticipated
to be complete in mid-March.
Approx. Completion: July 2002

Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) System
This project will integrate the existing Turnpike Road Ranger’s
AVL system with the Pompano and Turkey Lake TMC’s. The project
has two primary objectives. First, the AVL system will provide location
information to the TMC's in order to more efficiently respond to incidents
on the Turnpike by dispatching the closest available mobile asset(s).
Second, the
AVL system will provide the TMC’s with accurate
vehicle speed of Turnpike monitored vehicles to help determine traffic
flow. The AVL system will collect vital information and deliver this
information to the TMC's in "real time".
Approx. Completion: To Be Determined

Portable Roadside Readers
The Turnpike's Portable Roadside Reader (PRR) is a self-contained, trailer-mounted
SunPass transponder reader. This equipment was designed to be used for
SunPass transponder data collection and extraction at specified geographical
locations. In September 2001, four PRRs were provided to the Turnpike.
Two of the PRRs are based at the Pompano Beach Maintenance yard, and
two are based at the Orlando South Maintenance yard. Turnpike Traffic
Operations has made the PRRs available to other agencies that require
traffic data. Deployment of the units began in early January 2002. Three
of the four units have been successfully deployed on the Homestead Extension
of Florida's Turnpike (HEFT). The other PRR is scheduled for deployment
on the Suncoast Parkway from mid-February to mid-March.
Approx. Completion: On-going
