INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION
SYSTEM DEVICES
1 Dynamic Message Signs give motorists information on traffic conditions, travel times, warnings and
alerts. Safety messages or typical travel times are posted when the highway is incident-free.
2 Closed Circuit Television Cameras along interstates and major roadways give TMC operators live views
of traffic conditions. Operators can spot incidents as they happen, coordinate emergency response
and assistance as needed and program incident information for dissemination on message signs and
the FL511 system.
3 Traffic Signal Controllers allow signals to react in real-time to changing traffic volumes, work in concert
with adjacent signals and capture data for analysis, so traffic can be managed more effectively.
4 Vehicle Detection Sensors use microwave radar to measure the volume and speed of vehicles and
inform operators of traffic backups. This enables operators to post delay information on message
signs, and redirect cameras to investigate if the cause of congestion is not evident.
5 Blue TOAD Sensors (Travel Origin And Destination) provide travel time, roadway speed and origin/
destination data through Bluetooth devices that recognize cell phone signals in passing vehicles.
S Wind Sensors provide law enforcement and TMC operators information on dangerous weather
conditions that can affect travel safety.
7 511 is a free phone and web service providing real-time information on traffic conditions and
incidents 24/7. TMC operators update the phone and web systems as traffic conditions change.

• Completed 205 miles of freeway and arterial management systems with 75 miles under construction
• Installed Road Weather Information Systems on bridges for evacuation alert purposes
• Deployed over 140 Bluetooth sensors throughout Clay, Duval, Nassau and St. Johns counties
• Installed a stadium contraflow signal system for the Jacksonville Sports Complex at Bay Street
• Installed transit signal priority
• Installed automatic vehicle location, automatic passenger counters and on-board cameras on JTA buses
• Installed I-Stop electronic lighted JTA bus stop signage
• Activated My Florida 511 web and phone personal traffic alert service
• Formed the North Florida Intelligent Transportation Systems Coalition and developed a
Regional ITS Master Plan
Because of our extensive ITS investment and deployment, we are poised to take advantage
of automated vehicle technologies as they become available. Automated vehicles have safety
control functions, such as braking or steering, that happen without the driver's input.
They may operate using sensors within the vehicle or by connected systems where vehicles
and roadside infrastructure communicate wirelessly.
Automated vehicles have the potential to bring about dramatic safety, mobility, energy and
environmental benefits to our nation's transportation system. These benefits could include
crash avoidance, reduced energy consumption and vehicle emissions, reduced travel times,
improved travel time reliability and multi-modal connectivity, and improved transportation
system efficiency and accessibility, particularly for the disabled and growing aging population.

.�, r
�rtd
About 650 square miles, Nassau County covers
N4' 4.
I I'� a fairly large geographic area and is home to
`'�— r , over 75,000 residents. The driving distance from
i� it,«, '4 -
` . 0'10+=' �' ;a the beach on the east to the westernmost portion
�-� of the county is over 50 miles. Similar to many
.0/11111_ places in Florida and across the country, there
are people within the county who either do not
� ' have good access to transportation or would
- prefer additional transportation options.
<\� The purpose of the Nassau County Transit
Study was to determine public transportation
needs and opportunities, and to explore and
recommend bus transit options. The study
Ibegan with analyzing existing conditions and
trends, including population and employment,
land use and development, and transportation
op , characteristics. Public and stakeholder
participation helped guide the study and was an
essential component. A 19-member committee
of stakeholders, an online survey with nearly 600
responses and a public meeting helped shape
- r:3 the study's findings and recommendations.
The study concluded with recommendations
-- for transit routes and service improvements;
=--z-- potential governing structures and funding
opportunities for the transit system; and
suggested marketing and branding actions.

PEDESTRIAN /BICYCLE
The North Florida TPO's Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan identifies priority subareas for
further study. These subarea studies help us identify specific bicycle routes, bicycle parking
requirements, intersection and mid-block crossing needs and family friendly route opportunities. In
2015 we conducted two subarea studies.
