Case Study: Florida Department of Transportation improves roadway event analysis with Urban SDK

How Florida DOT uses enriched data for traffic speeds, roadway volumes, collisions, and incidents to monitor roadways across the state

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) faced a significant challenge in managing roadway congestion and incidents, particularly near a military base in Jacksonville. FDOT officials were data-rich but insight-poor, struggling to synthesize information from numerous disparate sources and vendors into actionable intelligence. They partnered with vendor Urban SDK to implement its platform, specifically the Event Impact Analysis Tool, to gain a holistic and automated view of their roadways.

Urban SDK's solution provided FDOT with a configurable analytics tool that automated corridor analysis and consolidated enriched data for traffic speeds, volumes, collisions, and incidents. This eliminated data silos and gave officials an on-demand platform to visualize information on maps, graphs, and data tables. As a result, FDOT gained a comprehensive understanding of its roadways, significantly improved its ability to quickly respond to citizen concerns, and could now immediately share historical traffic hotspots and forecast safety challenges.
