Transportation Systems Management and Operations
The Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSM&O) Program endeavors to provide a safe transportation system that ensures the mobility of people and goods, enhances economic prosperity, and preserves the quality of our environment and communities.
The TSM&O Program is divided into five areas and a new initiative:
The connected vehicle initiative uses leading edge technologies to quickly identify roadway hazards and alert drivers. Among others, these technologies include:
- Wireless communications
- Vehicle sensors
- Global positioning system navigation
- Promote ITS deployments on Florida's roadways, develop standards, maintain the ITS Strategic Plan, and implement a systems engineering process to support procurement and deployment of ITS
- Deploy advanced traveler information systems and 511
- Develop and update the ITS standards and specifications
- Provide technical support and assistance to FDOT's District Offices and other partners
- Promote and coordinate the statewide use of robust, non-proprietary ITS standards.
