04/18/2023 - Event Management for Daytona Beach
Aimed at improving the regional mobility for Volusia County, the Event Management project deployed multiple technologies providing real-time capabilities for the monitoring and management of arterial corridors through dynamic wayfinding. Located at the nexus of Interstate 4 and Interstate 95, the Daytona Beach area experiences significant surges in traffic volumes from tourist driven seasonal peak periods and planned or unplanned regional events. Large-scale annual events result in massive upticks in traffic on the local roadways, including increases of upwards of 400% over normal volumes for events such as the Daytona 500 and Biketoberfest. With the occasional detour traffic circumventing road closures onadjacent interstates and heavy directional traffic to and from the area’s world-renowned beaches, the existing traffic management system failed to meet the needs of the Department or motoring public of the region.

ATMS Hub Building
February 20, 2013
Aluminum ATMS Hub Enclosure
Southern’s engineering team design a 91" tall by 77" wide and 72" deep enclosure that will serve as the communication hub for the new ATMS system in Brevard County, Florida. The enclosure is a double door walk in enclosure with two 19" E.I.A. equipment racks as well as unistruts rails for mounting panels and din rails. It also features air conditioning, double insulation, and a power distribution center, giving our customer a hub cabinet ready for them to install their electronics. As a “walk-in” enclosure, Southern’s engineers designed special features so that the cabinet can be opened from inside in the unlikely event that a person is closed in.
The design borrows on many standard features of Southern’s long line of enclosures and is built using .125” 5052 aluminum. Given the large size, the engineers incorporated several features to insure that the structure is robust enough to stand up to Florida’s extreme weather conditions. The picture below gives some perspective as the racks in the center are just over 21” wide.
Using an aluminum hub enclosure instead of a concrete building saved the County both time and money. The cost of the aluminum structure was less than half of that of a concrete building. Erection time was cut dramatically and as the enclosure was pre-wired with an electric service panel, the electrical work in the field was minimized. This is a good example of how Southern works with our customers to create value added solutions.

Southern also supplied a number of pole mounted 336S ITS field cabinets on project. These were FDOT 785 enclosures complete with power distribution panels. In addition to a wide range of CCTV and DMS designs, Southern has designed custom enclosures for weigh in motion systems, power hub centers, electronic tolling, and SCADA solutions for natural gas.
