4220 Activu Corporation, a leading provider of IP-based visualisation and collaboration solutions for mission-critical command and control centre environments, has announced that its solution has been selected, as part of 4503 Florida Department of Transportation’s ITS initiative, for deployment at the Southwest Florida Interagency Facility for Transportation (SWIFT) 4507 SunGuide Centre and the Sarasota/Manatee County satellite transportation management centre (STMC) in District One.

The SWIFT SunGuide Center is responsible for roads and highways in District One which includes twelve counties spread over 12,000 square miles. The centre also hosts the freeway management system (FMS) to oversee traffic on the I-75 freeway stretch that runs through District One.

District One’s roads and freeways have an underlying network of interconnected closed-circuit television cameras, vehicle sensors and roadway weather information systems that continuously transmit images and data to the video wall and desktop screens of operators at the centre. All of this information is intelligently controlled by the SunGuide computer system and, through Activu, will be displayed on various devices to develop situational awareness and enable interaction between decision-makers and responders.
