Millions of feet of Blue Diamond Conduit have gone into the Florida Intelligent Transportation System stretching from Jacksonville to Miami.
Intelligent Transportation Systems represent the use of real time information systems and advanced technologies as transportation management tools to improve safety and the movement of people, goods, and services.
Blue Diamond Conduit is used to protect the fiber optic systems that are the lifeblood of the information needed to keep the motorists of Florida safe and informed while using the Florida Turnpike and Interstates.
ITS systems help the people of Florida in numerous ways including:
Amber and Silver Alerts Travel Time Reliability
Decreased Incident Duration Time 511 Calls
Road Rangers Reduced amount of Second Incidents
Lives Saved Reduced Energy Use
