FDOT District 5 SR 40 ITS Safety Deployment (Wildlife Detection and Warning)

Project Description: Project includes wildlife detection sensors and a combination of roadside and in–vehicle warning devices at the project locations.The warning system is expected to:
• Detect animal presence on the roadway and near roadway
• Activate warning beacons to alert drivers
• Collect and store the data of animal detection and make the data available for performance evaluation
• Allow the Department to independently operate the system without a third party's involvement at the completion of the project.
This project utilizes Connected and Automated Vehicle Services already in place with FDOT Central Office (CO) including Object Registration and Discovery Service (ORDS) and Security Credential Management System (SCMS). See the regional architecture for those services and interfaces between the D5 elements and the FDOT CO elements.

Project Functional Requirements (Element - Functional Object):

• FDOT District 5 CAV Field Equipment - RSE Traveler Information Communications
• 2: The field element shall distribute advisory information, such as evacuation information, wide-area alerts, incident information, work zone intrusion information, recommended speed limit and other special information to passing vehicles using short range communications, under center control.


• FDOT District 5 Field Equipment - Roadway Basic Surveillance
• 1: The field element shall collect, process, digitize, and send traffic sensor data (speed, volume, and occupancy) to the center for further analysis and storage, under center control.
• 2: The field element shall collect, process, and send traffic images to the center for further analysis and distribution.
• 3: The field element shall collect, digitize, and send multimodal crossing and high occupancy vehicle (HOV), and high occupancy toll (HOT) lane sensor data to the center for further analysis and storage.
• 4: The field element shall return sensor and CCTV system operational status to the controlling center.
• 5: The field element shall return sensor and CCTV system fault data to the controlling center for repair.


• FDOT District 5 Field Equipment - Roadway Warning
• 3: The field element shall monitor for debris, animals, or other objects in the travel lanes.
• 4: The field element shall provide collected sensor data to the controlling center.
• 5: The field element shall autonomously identify potentially hazardous conditions and activate warning signs to approaching motorists.
• 6: The field element shall receive commands from the controlling center that activate warning signs to approaching motorists.
• 7: The field element shall collect operational status of the warning system field equipment and report the operational status to the controlling center.
• 8: The field element shall monitor the warning devices and report faults to the controlling center.


• FDOT District 5 RTMC - TMC Basic Surveillance
• 1: The center shall monitor, analyze, and store traffic sensor data (speed, volume, occupancy) collected from field elements under remote control of the center.
• 4: The center shall distribute road network conditions data (raw or processed) based on collected and analyzed traffic sensor and surveillance data to other centers.
• 7: The center shall remotely control devices to detect traffic.


• FDOT District 5 RTMC - TMC In-Vehicle Signing Management
• 1: The center shall format and output sign information such as traffic and road conditions to field equipment that supports in-vehicle signage communications.
• 4: The center shall receive system operational status from field equipment that supports in-vehicle signage communications.
• 5: The center shall receive system fault data from field equipment that supports in-vehicle signage communications.


• FDOT District 5 RTMC - TMC Roadway Warning
• 1: The center shall monitor data on traffic, environmental conditions, and other hazards collected from sensors along the roadway.
• 4: The center shall identify debris, animals, or other encroachment on the roadway dangerous to approaching motorists.
• 6: The center shall monitor the operational status of the dynamic warning equipment, including fault reports.


• FDOT District 5 RTMC - TMC Traffic Information Dissemination
• 1: The center shall remotely control dynamic messages signs for dissemination of traffic and other information to drivers.
