| Project Description: | This project constitutes the FY 2000 ITS Integration Program earmark for Miami, Florida. The State Road 836 (SR 836) in Miami-Dade County is one of the most heavily traveled and congested corridors in Southeast Florida. The SunGuide system, previously referred to as the Intelligent Corridor System (ICS), incorporates all Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) projects in Southeast Florida. The goal of the SunGuide system is to improve traveler safety and mobility for residents and visitors by applying advanced traffic management and traveler information strategies. The SunGuide Design Report identified the SR 836 corridor for ITS Deployment. The SR 836 Expressway ITS Improvement Project proposes to implement an Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) along the SR 836 corridor in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The proposed Miami-Dade Expressway (MDX) ATMS components will be integrated with the existing SunGuide program, such that their operations will become seamless. The MDX ATMS components that are proposed for the project include non-intrusive system detectors, full coverage video surveillance, Highway Advisory Radio (HAR), and a communication system for integrating the MDX Field Components with the SunGuide Control Center. The MDX ATMS components will be integrated with other regional ITS and incident management systems and initiatives including the SunGuide Control Center, SunGuide Service Patrols, Florida Highway Patrol, MDX SunPass Electronic Toll Collection System, and SunGuide Advanced Traveler Information System. The FY 2002 ITS Integration Program earmark for Miami-Dade County, FL builds on and modifies the FY 2000 earmarked project by constructing the fiber optic communications backbone throughout the entire length of SR 836 from the Florida Turnpike to I-95. This modification includes the electronics required to integrate the FL Turnpike ITS, the FL DOT District 6 I-95 system, and the MDX SR 836 system. Estimated cost figures depicted below include FY 2002 earmarked funding of $827,318. The end date reflects schedule adjustments required to accommodate the expanded project scope. |
