Florida APTS Program

This program provides assistance to transit agencies in Florida to promote the deployment of transit Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). It includes technology transfer, maintains the Florida APTS inventory, and offers innovative ideas to ensure the successful use of transit ITS/APTS technologies.

Program Objectives

To support and enhance the evolution of the Florida APTS program, LCTR continues to develop tools and strategies for maximizing the benefits of APTS through the use of data mining and business intelligence and continue promoting the use of APTS technologies throughout the state.The program includes the following components:

• Establishing a Florida APTS program to provide a source of innovative ideas, technical assistance, and technology transfer for transit ITS/APTS technologies.

• Designing and implementing a database system based on existing APTS systems as well as other relevant transit technologies. This database system will be the foundation for the business intelligence solutions, which includes data mining and advanced data analyses.

• Conducting case studies to test the applications, outputs, and the underlying methodologies.

• Developing web and desktop software applications to present innovative ideas on the use of different transit ITS/APTS technologies that can be used to help transit agencies improve efficiencies.
