The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is now live with their Statewide Roadside Unit Health Monitoring System in partnership with Kyra Solutions (IntelliRoad division). This new system is an innovative component to FDOT’s smart infrastructure and connected vehicle (CV) program that provides safety and congestion solutions to the travelling public.
Kyra’s IntelliRoad division is delivering the next generation of roadway management software through its IntelliConnect platform by providing turnkey solutions that future-proof a government’s transportation system while leveraging their existing infrastructure investments. With over 1,000 people moving to Florida each day, the implementation of technologies that will improve safety and enhance mobility is imperative. Motorists and travelers can rest easy knowing the necessary steps are being taken to make roadways secure and safer for all.
As technology continues to rapidly evolve, travelers need and expect accurate real-time information that will allow them to make safe and informed decisions. The first step is to bring the monitoring of roadside infrastructure into one centralized location. Kyra has provided FDOT a turnkey solution that enables the continuous monitoring of the health and security status of all roadside units deployed within Florida. Kyra worked with multiple roadside unit vendors and 3rd party application systems providers (like SunGuide) to deliver the system on a single platform. Kyra used a module of IntelliConnect, a Smart Infrastructure and Traffic Management Platform, to integrate, configure, monitor, and manage all roadside units across the state. This system makes available the real-time status of all enrolled roadside units immediately for active viewing and generates automated alerts when the system or device status changes outside the configured parameters. The system also interfaces with 3rd party software to provide the security certificate needed for each unit and monitors for their compliance.
The platform also interfaces the Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) Data Exchange Platform to send roadside unit data. Kyra continues to provide FDOT with ongoing integration and engineering support.
Kyra Solutions, a Florida based company, has been a proud partner serving government agencies exclusively for over two decades and continues to provide leading-edge transportation solutions through their IntelliRoad division to improve safety and mobility on our roadways.
