One.network is to pilot and deploy its Live Link workzone safety module and Network Monitor, its traffic management solution, in the city of Altamonte Springs, Florida.

One.network, recently acquired by Causeway Technologies, has a three-year deal with the city, which is north of Orlando and bisected by Interstate 4, the main highway between Tampa, Orlando and Daytona Beach.

State Roads 434 and 436, two of the busiest streets in the area, are also nearby.

Live Link will allow road construction, utility and event contractors working in the city to notify GPS mapping providers about road disruptions directly from the roadside via an app - for instance letting drivers know whether workzones are active, have detours or require speed changes.

Altamonte Springs staff will have access to Network Monitor, which highlights severe and non-typical congestion, tracking average speed, delay times and queue lengths around workzones, events and incidents. 

Traffic managers will be able to use a real-time map "to monitor traffic hotspots and relate them to their root causes", One.network says.

Simon Topp, One.network’s chief commercial officer, adds: “Altamonte is known regionally and nationally for its innovation. With its combination of major local roads and proximity to Interstate 4, the city is committed to managing congestion and keeping drivers safe. We share that motivation.”

Altamonte Springs city manager Frank Martz says: “This partnership with One.network underscores our commitment to exploring new solutions that elevate the quality of life for our community.”

One.network is already working statewide with the Florida Department of Transportation, and regionally with the Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority, Central Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise and the Central Florida Expressway Authority.

Almost all drivers say they worry about other drivers tailgating on motorways: 95 per cent are at least occasionally concerned about vehicles too close behind them; more than four in ten (44 per cent) are concerned every, or most, tim

    As part of a growing effort to use technology to manage traffic on roads and highways without building more roads, for the last six months Florida’s Palm Beach County has been using Bluetooth readers to determine how long it takes motorists to travel along its corridors. "We're adding more capacity through technology rather than asphalt," said Dan Weisberg, Palm Beach County's traffic engineer. "We can't build ourselves out of congestion. We need to be smarter about what we have and manage it." In collabor
