METROPLAN ORLANDO – INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM (ITS) MASTER PLANEXECUTIVE SUMMARYMetroPlan Orlando is the metropolitan planning organization for Orange, Osceola, and Seminole Countiesand is responsible for the transportation planning process in the tri-county area. According to the Trackingthe Trends report, the Orlando Metropolitan Area is the 26th most populated Metropolitan StatisticalArea (MSA) in the country with 2 million residents and had 66 million visitors in 2015.The Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Master Plan will evaluate current systems in the MetroPlanOrlando Area, determine future needs, and outline future ITS projects to improve traffic flow. The purposeof the Master Plan is to propose a system that improves efficiency, reliability and safety of the region’smulti-modal transportation system.A series of Tasks were completed during the past 11 months that provided a deep understanding of theStakeholders’ goals, objectives, needs, and strategies. The Regional ITS Architecture (RITSA) was evaluatedand the Concept of Operations was prepared as part of this document. The draft task reports werepreviously submitted for review and are included in this document as the various sections werecompleted. Section 1-Task 1: ITS Vision, Goals and ObjectivesSection 2-Task 2: Existing Conditions/Infrastructure/InventorySection 3-Task 3: Needs AssessmentSection 4-Task 4: Identification of Applicable ITS StrategiesSection 5-Task 5: Regional ITS Architecture (RITSA)Section 6-Task 6: Concept of OperationsIn addition to the tasks, two workshops were organized to include input from MetroPlan Orlando’sTransportation Systems Management & Operations (TSM&O) Advisory Committee. The first workshopwas used to establish a vision, goals, and objectives for the ITS Master Plan and to complete an inventoryof existing ITS devices in the MetroPlan Orlando area. The second workshop was organized to discuss anddevelop needs and applicable strategies that were then used to develop the proposed projects for futuredeployment.The ITS technologies currently applied in the MetroPlan Orlando area include Closed Circuit TelevisionCameras (CCTV) cameras, Dynamic Message Signs (DMS), Bluetooth readers, Microwave VehicleDetectors (MVDS), Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) readers, Transit Signal Priority (TSP), AdaptiveTraffic Signal Control (ATSC), fiber optic cable, and communications equipment. The existing devices perCounty are summarized in Section 2.Sections 3 and 4 described the various stakeholder needs and applicable strategies to meet those needs.Section 5 reviewed the RITSA based on the information gathered and summarized in Sections 2, 3 and 4.Section 6, the Concept of Operations, then built upon all the previous sections and provides an overviewof the project/system to be deployed, details about the current system, identification of desired changes,operational issues of the existing and proposed devices and system components, as well as therelationships and responsibilities of the various agencies.i

METROPLAN ORLANDO – INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM (ITS) MASTER PLANSection 7 includes the ITS project scoring criteria and the ranking of future ITS projects. The future ITSprojects were identified by matching the Stakeholder Survey results, the ITS strategies, needs, and goalswith potential ITS and communications technologies addressing specific transportation, mobility, andsafety-related issues within the MetroPlan Orlando area. All potential ITS projects identified in Section 7were scored and ranked (prioritized) through the application of the methodology described in Section 7.One or more strategies may be included or addressed in one ITS project. In addition to the projectsprogrammed in the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), 34 potential ITS projects were identified. Eachproject also indicates the implementation timeline of 0 to 5 years or 6 to 10 years. The ITS Master Planwill serve as a guide for the development of future regional ITS projects.ii
