FDOT engineers to test controller

The Florida DOT will soon be testing a highway traffic management center wall processor, according to a manufacturer.

 “Jupiter Systems is investing heavily to meet the current and long term needs of Florida’s intelligent transportation infrastructure,” said Brady O. Bruce, Vice President of Marketing and Strategic Alliances.

He said Jupiter Systems of Ponte Vedra Beach has been added to the list of FDOT qualified vendors.

The firm’s “SunGuide” interface, developed jointly by Jupiter and Southwest Research Institute, is slated for testing and certification by FDOT’s Traffic Engineering Research Laboratory (TERL) in early 2011.

Bruce added, “Achieving Qualified Vendor status plus the development of our SunGuide interface have been Jupiter’s goals for over a year. With these two components in place, FDOT and other SunGuide-enabled sites now have many more options in Display Wall Controllers as well as a wider range of display vendors and systems integrators.”
