| Project Description: |
| The existing traffic signal conrol system in MDC is totally dependent on a communication system between the raffic Congrol Center and the 2650 signal control cabinets in the field that is leased from BellSouth at an annual cost of about $2 million. In addition to being excessively expensive, this system is antiquated by today's standards, lacking the capacity to bring back the amount data (especially real-time video) needed for the optimization of traffic flow on the arterial network. A new communication subsystem based on a hybrid wireless and fiber optic technologies would resolve this problem and result in significantly better utilization of the existing paement infrastructure in Miami-Dade County. |
