This project focused on the deployment of Wrong Way Vehicle Detection Systems (WWVDS) on 65 ramps along I-4 in Orange, Seminole, and Volusia Counties.

Project Overview
The purpose of this project was to reduce wrong-way driving incidents and improve safety on Florida’s state highway system. Advanced WWVDS technology was installed on interstate off-ramps to identify and alert drivers entering the highway in the wrong direction. The system provided real-time notifications to emergency responders and law enforcement to ensure a swift response.

Project Leadership and Scope
Members of our team served as Engineer of Record, Project Manager, and Lead Systems Engineer for four Design-Bid-Build projects within this initiative. The deployment covered 65 ramps, including 22 critical locations from SR 482/Sand Lake Road to the Seminole County I-4 WB Rest Area.

Design Features and Innovations
members of our team led the design, which included:

• Installation of advanced Wrong Way Detection Systems with real-time monitoring and flashing wrong-way signage

• Integration with traffic management systems for rapid incident response

• High-visibility static wrong-way signs, wrong-way arrows, and guide striping designed to meet FDOT Design Manual and MUTCD requirements

Coordination and Analysis

The project required seamless integration with existing infrastructure to ensure system reliability. Comprehensive signing and pavement marking enhancements were implemented to maximize visibility and deterrence.

This work aligns with FDOT’s “Vision Zero” goal of achieving zero fatalities and serious injuries on Florida’s roadways. By incorporating advanced detection systems and strategic design enhancements, the project represents a significant step toward safer highways.
