TRANSPORTATION

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has begun the Florida Keys Connecting Overseas to Advance Safe Travel (Keys COAST) design/build project along SR 5/US 1 in Monroe County. This project will establish connectivity between various transportation modes (cars, trucks, buses, pedestrians, bicyclists and emergency vehicles) and a connected vehicle traffic signal system (CVTSS) along with other systems such as midblock pedestrian crossings, truck weigh station and drawbridge and emergency signals.

WORK TO BE PERFORMED:

• Installing road side units (RSUs) at existing traffic signals, emergency signals, pedestrian crossings, drawbridge signals and in the vicinity of the truck weigh station
• Installing on-board units (OBUs) in FDOT, emergency response, law enforcement, freight and volunteer agency fleet vehicles
• Developing a smartphone application to allow communication between RSUs and various transportation modes
