ATCMTD Grant Request: City of Miami Gardens, Florida Traffic Congestion Management Project
Project Description
1. Introduction
With the support of $1,000,000 in Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment Initiative grant funding, supported by $1,567,267 in matching funds, the Miami Gardens Police Department will deploy high-resolution, state-of-the-art video cameras and related technologies to monitor and mitigate traffic congestion while improving public safety and increasing regional collaboration. The project will focus on improving traffic safety across 20 high-traffic intersections covering about 10 miles of 27th Avenue/State Route 817 in the City of Miami Gardens, Florida. The requested funding will support deployment of video cameras to relay real-time footage to the Miami Gardens Police Department. This information will be used to quickly deploy resources to ensure public safety and minimize traffic congestion. Trained professionals in the Real-Time Crime Center will monitor the traffic conditions and dispatch appropriate traffic enforcement units to the area to aide in the safety and congestion issues. The City will use the project to assist in the decrease of congestion and injury accidents along the thoroughfare. More than 25 percent of traffic congestion is non-recurrent, according to the Federal Highway Administration. Instead, it is caused by traffic incidents. As a result, detecting incidents early and responding to them effectively makes for safer roads, less congestion, and smoother traffic flow. The proposed solution provides insight into urban traffic patterns so that traffic authorities can make better decisions and long-term plans.
2. Description of Applicant
The Miami Gardens Police Department is the lead law enforcement agency for the 113,000 residents living within the City's 23 square miles. The department operates under a unified command structure with its headquarters located at 18611 NW 27th Avenue, Miami Gardens, Florida 33056. The department became operational on Sunday, December 16, 2007 with 159 sworn officers. Since then, the department has grown to 259 members consisting of 201 sworn positions with an equally important 58 non-sworn support positions. The Department operates under the following Mission Statement: The Miami Gardens Police Department is committed to building a better tomorrow through community interaction. This will be accomplished through mutual trust and cooperation with those "We Serve". We are committed to providing ethical, quality and responsive service to the community with professionalism, pride and trust. This trust will be established by providing service which will be fair but firm, and by protecting our citizens with consistent commitment which will be unyielding.
The employees within the Real-Time Crime Center will monitor the daily conditions along the roadway, initiate, and manage appropriate responses to conditions observed in a real-time fashion. The units that will assist within the field will be the Traffic Enforcement Unit to mitigate traffic congestion, Traffic Homicide Units to mitigate injury accidents and Public Works to evaluate and coordinate any major changes in traffic patterns.
Fiscal management: Celina Green-Mike is the Department's Management Analyst and will be responsible for providing financial oversight for the proposed project. The Department's financial records are maintained in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The District uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with legal requirements.
Partnering organizations: Miami Gardens Police Department intends to make the video feeds available to Miami-Dade County traffic management and public safety personnel to support regional traffic congestion mitigation and public safety enhancement efforts.
3. Geographic Area to be served
The project will serve the City of Miami Gardens, which is in Miami-Dade County, about 25 minutes north of Miami. The City is centrally located in northern Miami-Dade County and is the county's third largest city, with a population of 113,000 people (2015 U.S. Census Bureau) living in more than 31,000 households. Incorporated in 2003, as the County's 33rd city, Miami Gardens is centrally located in the region. Our community is socioeconomically diverse, with more than 31% of the population speaking a language other than English in the home. Approximately 23.1% of Miami Gardens residents live in poverty.
The city boundaries are from I-95 and NE 2nd Avenue on the East; NW 47th Avenue and NW 57th Avenue on the west; County Line Road on the north; and NW 151st Street on the South. This location at the border of Miami-Dade and Broward Counties makes Miami Gardens extremely accessible, and a viable residential and business destination.
The City of Miami Gardens is easily accessed by I-95, the Palmetto Expressway (SR 826), the Florida Turnpike, as well as numerous other county and state surface roads that form a relatively uninterrupted grid through the City. In addition, the city boasts multi-modal access to rail through the Florida East Coast Railway and the South Florida Tri-Rail System and is easily connected to the Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale / Hollywood International Airport. The Tri-Rail station is located at the Golden Glades Interchange which also includes a park-and-ride lot. The City's centrality was a key factor in locating Hard Rock Stadium, which is near the county line in a sports complex that is also near Calder Race Track. A Florida Turnpike Interchange at NW 199th Street/Ives Dairy Road provide excellent access to these activity generators.
There are many levels of connectivity in Miami Gardens, from major interstates, regional rail transit, and sub regional county and state roads, to prevalent pedestrian and bicycle facilities. The NW 27th Avenue Corridor, also known as State Road 817, represents the central north-south commercial corridor for the City. It is primarily a strip retail commercial area. The City is encouraging the NW 27th Avenue Commerce area's revitalization as the City's central boulevard through a mixture of new commercial and multiple family development as well as redevelopment of existing commercial uses. This six-lane facility provides primary access to the Hard Rock Stadium and Calder Race Track as well as serving as a major north-south transportation artery.

Miami Gardens Police Department Real-Time Crime Center (RTCC)
The Real-Time Crime Center is an approximately 1,500 square-foot state-of-the-art innovation and technology driven center. It is comprised of 19 workstations and 3 large video walls. The center's staffing is authorized for 1 Sergeant, 4 police officers and 6 analysts. The RTCC is also designed for interagency collaboration on joint efforts. See picture below.
Mitigating traffic congestion and improving public safety
Information about how the requested technologies will be utilized to mitigate traffic congestion and improve public safety is provided below.
- Traffic Congestion – Traffic Enforcement teams will be deployed to the area under the direction of Sergeant Eamon Curran for mitigating the congestion in ways like manual timing of the light cycle, redirection of traffic flow and similar efforts.
- Traffic Safety Conditions – Through real-time monitoring of the cameras, Traffic Homicide Units will be deployed to injury cases immediately to reduce the response time of first responders and congestion related to the crash. Pedestrian crossings at unauthorized locations causing safety concerns for pedestrians and automobiles can also be addressed with a prompt response.
- Public Works will use the heat maps (Video Analytics) to plan and establish proper reports for possible traffic modifications (i.e. round abouts).
5. A description of transportation systems and services to be included in the project.
Question:
As noted, the proposed technologies will be deployed at 20 intersections along NW 27th Avenue in the City of Miami Gardens (see Figure 2 above). NW 27th Avenue is a primary transportation corridor passing through the heart of the City of Miami Gardens. The NW 27th Avenue Corridor, also known as State Road 817, represents the central north-south commercial corridor for the City. It is primarily a strip retail commercial area. The City is encouraging the NW 27th Avenue Commerce area's revitalization as the City's central boulevard through a mixture of new commercial and multiple family development as well as redevelopment of existing commercial uses. This six-lane facility provides primary access to the Hard Rock Stadium and Calder Race Track as well as serving as a major north-south transportation artery.
As shown in Figure 3, daily traffic counts for NW 27th Avenue in Miami Gardens range from 70,000 to 130,000 vehicles per day. Figure 5 below shows a zoning map for the City.
6. A deployment plan that includes providing long-term operation and maintenance of advanced transportation and congestion management technologies to improve safety, efficiency, system performance, and return on investment.
Deployment plan: As shown in Table 2 below, the technologies will be deployed over a 12- month timeframe. The project will be led by Sergeant Erik Gleason, MGPD Real-Time Command Center Supervisor. Once deployed, the MGPD Real-Time Crime Center personnel will monitor the traffic cameras and take appropriate actions to achieve the identified project objectives.
Technology management: The Real-Time Crime Center, under the leadership of Sergeant Erik Gleason will manage the technology deployment and utilization. The RTCC is equipped with state-of-the-art technologies that will support attainment of the intended performance improvements. A video wall will simultaneously monitor all the camera feeds, mapping applications, and other critical data simultaneously. This creates a complete operating picture that heightens the team's situational awareness. Images and feeds can be manipulated in real-time to provide a full understanding of traffic situations. Features such as heat mapping will RTCC personnel to analyze traffic flow patterns and take appropriate actions to minimize congestion and improve traffic flow.
Technology maintenance: The requested funding includes 60 months of vendor-provided maintenance. Miami Gardens Police Department will assume the cost of maintaining the technologies beyond maintenance contract expiration.
7. A description of any challenges in the regulatory, legislative, or institutional environments or other obstacles to deployment.
Permits will have to be pulled from Florida Department of Transportation, Miami Dade County and The City of Miami Gardens. The CCTV vendor will be required to assist in this process. No special regulatory, legislative or institutional obstacles that could potentially slow progress of the proposed project have been identified. The Miami Gardens Police Department has full authority to deploy the proposed technologies.
8. Quantifiable system performance improvements, such as-- a) reducing traffic-related crashes, congestion, and costs; b) optimizing system efficiency; and c) improving access to transportation services.
The goal of this initiative is to increase the capability of Miami Gardens Police Department to monitor and mitigate traffic congestion while improving public safety and increasing regional collaboration. Targeted quantifiable system performance improvements include:
- Reduce the combined average incident response time at the targeted intersections by 50% over 12 months.
- Reduce the combined number of accidents across the targeted intersections by 20% over 12 months.
9. Quantifiable safety, mobility, and environmental benefit projections such as data-driven estimates of how the project will improve the region's transportation system efficiency and reduce traffic congestion.
This project will give us the opportunity to address congestion and safety concerns by improving the light timing, identifying areas of pedestrian concern to facilitate possible infrastructure changes. Traffic Congestion would improve by reducing travel time through the City on the main artery of through travel.
- Reduce the combined average traffic congestion across the targeted intersections by at least 25% over 12 months.
10. Vision, goals, and objectives of the applicant for the technology deployment, including any future related deployments; the vision of the organization and goals, objectives, and activities to be pursued in addressing the identified issues and challenges.
As noted, the goal of this initiative is to increase the capability of Miami Gardens Police Department to monitor and mitigate traffic congestion while improving public safety and increasing regional collaboration. We will attain the goal by deploying a solution that provides insight into urban traffic patterns so that traffic authorities can make better decisions and long-term plans. RTCC personnel will utilize the deployed cameras and innovative CCTV and Analytical software to mitigate traffic congestion and improve public safety. The workstations in the RTCC have direct connections to the police dispatchers to aide in the prompt response of the traffic units, public works, fire departments and more. The video will also be analyzed through the video analytics solution in place for heat map constructions and analyzation of traffic patterns. As noted, the solution will be utilized as follows:
- Mitigate Traffic Congestion – Traffic Enforcement teams will be deployed to the area under the direction of Sergeant Eamon Curran for mitigating the congestion in ways like manual timing of the light cycle, redirection of traffic flow and similar efforts.
- Improve Traffic Safety Conditions – Through real-time monitoring of the cameras, Traffic Homicide Units will be deployed to injury cases immediately to reduce the response time of first responders and congestion related to the crash. Pedestrian crossings at unauthorized locations causing safety concerns for pedestrians and automobiles can also be addressed with a prompt response.
- Public Works will use the heat maps (Video Analytics) to plan and establish proper reports for possible traffic modifications (i.e. round abouts).
11. A plan for partnering with the private sector or public agencies, including multimodal and multijurisdictional entities, research institutions, organizations representing transportation and technology leaders, or other transportation stakeholders.
In deploying the proposed technologies, MGPD plans to provide video feed access to the following agencies: Miami-Dade County Traffic; Miami-Dade Fire Rescue; and Miami Gardens Public Works Department.
12. A plan to leverage and optimize existing local and regional advanced transportation technology investments.
The camera feeds will be monitored in a new state-of-the-art Command Center located within MGPD's Real-Time Crime Center. The Command Center includes 19 workstations and three large video walls from which to monitor the video feeds. The workstations have direct connection to the police dispatchers to aide in the prompt response of the Traffic Units, public Works, Fire Rescue, etc. The video will also be analyzed through the video analytics solution in place for heat map constructions and analyzation of traffic patterns.
