Turnpike Turkey Lake RTMC & SunWatch Center
The Turnpike Turkey Lake TMC is the 24/7 central facility for the control, monitoring, operation, and management of Turnpike traffic in the northern portion of the Turnpike Enterprise System. In addition, they serve as a secondary monitoring and control facility for ITS infrastructure and traffic management in the South Florida Turnpike roadways. The TMC utilizes 555 CCTV cameras, 116 Dynamic Message Signs, 16 Highway Advisory Radios, the Statewide 511 system, 6 CB Radio Advisory Systems and public information displays to provide information to the traveling public.
Florida's Turnpike Enterprise is also providing a rare opportunity to learn about SunWatch, their internationally recognized, award winning Operation Center that controls over 1,200 toll collection "equipment" lanes across the state. With the move to such sophisticated technologies as All Electronic Tolling (AET) and Open Road Tolling (ORT), the ability to manage and support true "lights out" technical operations becomes more critical. From complex systems like SunPass Dual Protocol RF systems and fiber optic WAN networks, to security systems, backup generator systems and climate control, the SunWatch Operation Center manager will share with you how advanced technology supports a wide range of complex systems in real time. This is a real world, behind the scenes look at an application of advanced technology used on Florida's Turnpike.
