US 90 Signal Phase and Timing Tallahassee
Under FDOT’s TSM&O Program, arterial traffic management solutions are receiving renewed focus, especially given the technology advances offered by connected vehicles (CV). Case in point is a major Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT) project using
CV technology underway at the City of Tallahassee.
The testing and implementation of SPaT at select intersections around Florida will support the advancement of Vehicle-to-Infrastructure capabilities, especially related to intersection safety applications. It will also give FDOT and local agency staff the opportunity to gain experience in the operation and maintenance of CV infrastructure and applications.
