IMPROVING OPERATION OF FDOT TELEMETERED TRAFFIC MONITORING SITES

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) currently monitors about 7,000 traffic count sites, including over 300 permanent Telemetered Traffic Monitoring Sites (TTMSs). The major efforts conducted under this project were: (1) Cellular Communication Improvement for Site 9936; (2) Modem Performance Study; (3) Telephone Line Surge Protection; (4) Evaluation of Bonding Materials Used in Piezoelectric Axle Sensor Installation; and (5) Mining of Florida Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Data for Transportation Planning. In addition to the major efforts, technical support was provided to the Transportation Statistics Office of the FDOT as needed throughout the project.
