FDOT to Waze Data Sharing
District Public Information Office
• Provides Planned Road / Lane Closures
FDOT Regional Transportation Management Centers (TMC)
• TMC receives planned closures
• TMC Operators produce incident data
• Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) detectors produce traffic conditions data
FL511 System’s Third Party Data Feed
• Collects data from TMCs statewide
• Packages data as single data feed
Waze
• Receives FDOT Data
• Provides Crowd-Sourced Data

FDOT Third-Party Data Feed
Provides statewide real-time data – Sent by TMCs to FL511
Feed updated every one minute Date types Include:
– Floodgates– Traffic events– Camera images– Dynamic message sign messages– Traffic speed– Travel times

Waze – FDOT Integration 6
SunGuide® Software
FDOT’s statewide advanced traffic management system (ATMS) software– Integrates ITS devices and TMC operations– Incident Management
Waze data integrated into SunGuide software Two phases:
– Quick integration (phase 1)– Long-term integration (phase 2)

Waze – FDOT Integration 7
Waze Data Feed
Waze data contain incidents and traffic jams– Crashes, disabled vehicle, debris on roadway, etc.– We do NOT receive speeds from Waze
FDOT retrieves data and stores in a database Distributed to Transportation Management
Centers (TMC) Some data filtered out:
• Police locations• Weather conditions • Other / chit-chat• Miscellaneous

Waze – FDOT Integration 8
Decisions – Data Distribution
11/12/2015
Other filtering decisions– Decentralized with
seven Districts and a Turnpike Enterprise.
– Districts do not need statewide data
– Districts monitor the state roadway system

SunGuide Integration
Phase 2 Goals: Operate efficiently for TMC operators Behave consistently with other incident detection
and data sources Automate transfer of information from Waze to
SunGuide alerts/events

Dissemination Policies
Instrumented state roads: – Confirm Waze event prior to posting to Florida’s 511
(FL511) system Non-instrumented state roads covered by FL511
system:– Post Waze event as unconfirmed
Non-instrumented state roads not covered by FL511 system: – Post “floodgate” message for road closures
