Central Florida’s Current 511 ServiceCentral Florida’s Current 511 Service
• I-4 focus• 4 segments between I-95 and US-27• “Floodgate message” capability to highlight major
incidents/issues across all Central Florida roads• Voice recognition interface – determines segment by
city/county name, exit name/number• Operator recorded messages
• Advertised on static signs along I-4
and approaching arterials – occasionally DMS

iFlorida Model DeploymentiFlorida Model Deployment
• Purpose• To demonstrate the wide variety of operational functions
that are enabled or enhanced with a surface transportation security and reliability information system
• Four year, $20M+ program – 11 projects• Official start date – May 1, 2003• Two years to design/deployment• Two years operational evaluation• Statewide project, with a focus on Central Florida• Leverages $80M+ in ongoing 2002-2004 investments

Bay services• Expandable to handle regional services in Jacksonville
and Southwest Florida

iFlorida Travel Time Data SourcesiFlorida Travel Time Data Sources
• Central Florida• I-4 Surveillance Motorist Information
System (loop detectors)• Already exists
• Orlando Orange County Expressway Authority (OOCEA)
• 450,000+ transponders in area• OOCEA deploying toll transponder-based
travel time monitoring system • OOCEA Data Server will support all area
travel time data analysis – both for OOCEA roads, as well as iFlorida covered roads
• iFlorida Deployment• Florida DOT deploying toll transponder-
based travel time monitoring system on:• Florida’s Turnpike Facilities (12
reader sites)• Principal Arterials (35 reader sites)

Data Fusion and Data Fusion and Message Generation SystemMessage Generation System
• Condition Reporting System (CRS)• Software system that collects, fuses, and
disseminates transportation system-related conditions information
• Supports both statewide and Central Florida traveler information
• Includes decision support applications for RTMC Operators:
• 511 Messages (Central Florida and Statewide)• Variable Speed Limit signs (I-4 in Orlando)• Dynamic Message Signs

Central Florida 511 Automated Central Florida 511 Automated Message GenerationMessage Generation
• Will provide travel times as standard messages – 24/7• Travel times - 5 minute increments (rounded based on traffic trend)
• Automatically posted to 511 and DMS
• Once CRS determines travel time exceeds a predetermined threshold, CRS to alert operator to record a custom 511 message
• 511 messages for State Roads will be referred to by both their number and street name
• Operator recorded messages may include incidents, lane closures, travel times, and significant weather conditions
• “Floodgate” messages – major events, incidents, closures (on or off covered roads), AMBER Alerts, evacuation messages, etc.
15
Central Florida 511 Messaging StructureCentral Florida 511 Messaging Structure
• The CRS will recommend a pre-recorded message (.wav) to the operator• Standard pre-recorded
messages will provide travel time information only
• Operator either accepts CRS output or records a custom message• May include incidents, lane
closures, travel times, and significant weather conditions.
