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.

Major Solar ITS Project in Massachusetts
June 02, 2016
Southern Manufacturing Supplies Enclosures
For a Major Solar ITS Project in Massachusetts
Sanford, FL
May 20, 2016
Southern Manufacturing designed and manufactured over 400 enclosures as part of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation’s “Go Time” project. This is an innovative state-wide project integrating solar powered DMS displays of travel time into static signs. The project was designed by Jacobs Engineering. SES America supplied the signs and Dagle Electrical Construction was the electrical contractor. The project is scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2016.
At each of the 137 sign locations, there is a 16”H x 76”W x 48”D cabinet that houses fromfour to six 8D batteries which supply DC power to the site and a 46”H x 24”W x 20”D RTTM cabinet. Both were custom designed enclosures which were sized using Solid Works to layoutall of the internal components to insure proper fit. They were shipped fully wired and ready for the electrical contractor to install the communications and mount on the pad. The electrical components included a custom DIN rail mounted DC photovoltaic surge suppressor supplied by Emerson Network Power.
This is another example of how Southern partners with design firms, state DOTs, and customers to provide innovative ITS solutions. From custom enclosures for solar applications, electronic tolling, SCADA systems, CCTV, or any other ITS applications, we pride ourselves in developing practical solutions. Other recent projects include providing stainless steel enclosures for ITS and security for the Tappan Zee and Bayonne Bridges, and ITS projects in over 35 states.
