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 by the 4503 Florida Department of Transportation (FDoT) for integrated traffic management operations across multiple fixed and mobile locations in District Two.

Encompassing 12,000 square miles in north-east Florida with major cities such as Gainesville and Jacksonville, a combined population of 1.9 million residents and roadways with over 8,200 lane-miles, District Two has a main traffic management centre (TMC) at its urban office in Jacksonville, Florida, a satellite operation co-located at the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) dispatch office to coordinate incident response with FHP troopers and a third location at one of FDOT’s maintenance facilities. As a result, one of the District’s primary TMC requirements was to install a single visualisation and collaboration solution that would seamlessly interconnect all three centres so operators at each location could view and share the same information and visuals simultaneously and have the right collaboration tools to exchange ideas and make effective decisions.

    Ensuring worker safety and up-to-date driver information is crucial to ensure that roadworks are not a source of danger and delay. Andrew Williams looks at a scheme on the A14 in Cambridgeshire, UK. In recent years, portable workzone ITS solutions have emerged as important tools in the management of major roadworks and system upgrade projects - and are viewed as an increasingly vital means of ensuring any ongoing traffic flow disruption is kept to a minimum. The technology forms a central component of an

While there was no threat to flight safety as the interference to GPS reference stations being tested, the story highlights how apparently benign threats have the potential t
