FDOT DIVAS Truck Video Integration

Project Description: FDOT is using video images from maintenance truck–mounted cameras to support emergency response and management. Truck–mounted camera video images will connect directly to DIVAS via wireless internet and become available to FDOT emergency managers and others through DIVAS. Maintenance trucks are deployed and controlled in the vicinity of the emergency conditions being surveilled.

All other video images that input to DIVAS come from FDOT or local agency traffic management centers. This is the first time video images will come directly (through third–party) from the camera to DIVAS.
