Original ATMS Scope
New cabinets and controllers at EVERY intersection Communications backbone PTZ Cameras Construction (installing cabinets etc…) Consulting services Software (ATMS software, Cameras, signal timing…) TMC Building Equipment for the TMC Emergency vehicle preemption/priority
Interstate 75
Original Scope Lacked I-75: Original intention of the $18.2 M was for
Gainesville’s arterial street network and not the interstate.
However, not having access to the interstate often impeded our ability to properly manage arterials during I-75 incidents.
Interstate 75
Local Agency VS FDOT: Initially, CoG requested permission from FDOT to
permit traffic camera poles near the main interchanges in Gainesville
Request was politely denied. FDOT is the only agency that can permit on the interstate.
Interstate 75
Local Agency VS FDOT: Begun petitioning District II’s ITS office for
interstate cameras shortly afterwards.
Interstate 75
THE DESIGN! Original plan attempted to use existing cantilever and light
pole structures on the interstate to keep costs down.
Interstate 75
THE DESIGN! CoG conducted it’s own site surveys to confirm
wireless connectivity and good visuals.
Interstate 75
THE DESIGN! Included cameras from the south end of Paynes
Prairie to Alachua, Fl
Interstate 75
THE DESIGN!
Roughly 20 miles from first camera in the south of the Prairie to the Alachua US441 interchange

Spring into action! FDOT agreed to pay their “push button” contractor to plant
ten new poles on the interstate. FDOT also agreed to start supplying replacement back up ITS equipment to CoG.
CoG was responsible for everything else. As no other infrastructure was going on the interstate, these 10 camera poles had to communicate over wireless and use solar power.
Interstate 75
Spring into action! Sign cantilever idea went bust. Photocells brought on too
many problems. Post January 29th design kept two cantilever structures,
Alachua (US441) and Williston Rd (SR121) interchanges.
Interstate 75
Spring into action! In order to use existing cantilevers, FDOT policy was
waived and FDOT issued CoG permits to construct conduit to these existing signs.
Interstate 75
FDOT plants poles 67’ (or 55’ tall) poles

Spring into action! Solar system was designed to our specific equipment

Connection to D2
• Gainesville Traffic Operations has recently become a member of the Florida Lambda Rail!
• This will allow a 1GIGE connection to FDOT D2 Jacksonville with possibility of expanding to other
FDOT districts.
Expansion to D5
• CoG has replaced an old I-Florida PTZ camera in Marion County. Exit 368 is the last NB exit before entering Alachua County
• Communication will be maintained via a cellular modem over the Verizon network. Verizon provides the City with a static IP. The modem uses an embedded VPN to connect into our network.
Good News!
