Feasibility Study For An Incident Management System
For The Edison, Caloosahatchee, Midpoint, and Cape Coral Bridges in
Lee County (405462 1 22 01)
The overall objective of this project will be to determine the feasibility
and develop a conceptual design for an Incident Management System (IMS)
for four bridges over the Caloosahatchee River that connect Lee County
and the City of Fort Myers with North Fort Myers and the City of Cape
Coral in Lee County, Florida. The study will provide sufficient detail
to enable cost and benefit estimates to be obtained, supporting the
subsequent development of detailed design plans, specifications and
deployment cost estimates. The study will also develop and define an
ITS framework for IMS in the study area.
Approx. Completion: December 2002

I-75 Incident Management Project Plan for Charlotte,
Sarasota and Manatee Counties (202062 1 12 01)
This project involves preparation of an incident management project
plan for the I-75 corridor. An operational concept is developed, identifying
the functions of an ITS, the roles and responsibilities of the agencies
involved, and the location and jurisdiction issues. Infrastructure requirements
are determined and an implementation strategy is prepared. Additionally,
preliminary project costs are estimated. The overall goal of the project
is to achieve improved incident management and

Advanced Traffic Management Systems
I-10/I-95 Incident Management System Jacksonville
Interstate Surveillance and Control System, Phase 2 (2133261 & 2133061)
The I-10/I-95 Interstate Surveillance System includes the Transportation
Management Center (TMC), 11 Closed Circuit Television Cameras (CCTV),
Video Imaging Detection System (VIDS) with 41 Detection Stations, a
Classification/Count Station, Inductive Loop Count Stations along the
interstate, 8 Dynamic Message Signs (DMS), and 10 Slow Scan Cameras.
Communication with each sign is via a dedicated analog telephone circuit.
Cameras at seven signs are connected via dial-up analog leased lines.
The other three cameras, located on the Buckman Bridge, are also through
dial-up analog leased lines. Except for the Buckman Bridge and cameras
at VMSs, the TMC receives all video images through fiber optic lines.
The TMC operates from 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM. After hours the Florida Highway
Patrol (FHP) operates the system through an attendant station located
within their headquarters.
Current Status: The project is on schedule for the burn-in phase starting at the end of February, and running for 90 days.
Graphical User Interface (GUI) development is nearing completion, Oracle Failsafe problems have been resolved, and other problems related to the Dell Cluster installation have also been resolved, including failover processing for the Spatial Database Engine (ArcSDE), and a problem in NT Cluster Server which prevented the Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks (RAID) drive from coming online in some cases.
Oracle Enterprise Manager has been installed, and automated backups have been installed and tested.
Integration testing with the GUI and background NT service processes will be starting within a few days.
The user manual documentation is currently in progress,
and a training schedule for system operation is being developed.
Approx. Completion: July 2002
