Case Study: Florida Department of Transportation improves incident tracking and roadway response with Urban SDK

FDOT TSM&O officials in District 2 (D2) needed a better way to track roadway incidents closing lanes to understand what was happening from incident to clearance

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 2 faced a challenge in efficiently tracking and understanding roadway incidents and lane closures. Officials were forced to manually sift through spreadsheets and data from multiple vendors to analyze traffic issues, a slow process that was ineffective for addressing urgent problems like security threats near a military base. They partnered with vendor Urban SDK to license its real-time performance measures platform to overcome these operational data silos.

Urban SDK implemented a configurable analytics tool that automated corridor analysis and standardized reporting. The solution provided FDOT with access to enriched data on traffic speeds, volumes, collisions, and incidents, which eliminated their data silos. As a result, officials gained a holistic view of their roadways, could immediately share historical and forecasted traffic data, and became able to respond to citizen concerns much more quickly.
