The RTMC Interactive Map is designed to display the performance of the roadway network across
FDOT District 5.
The map compares current conditions of both Average Speed and Jam Factor, an indicator of
congestion, within the last 5 minutes to previous conditions across the District
where the resulting conditions are outside of normal conditions. For the purposes of this
interactive map, normal conditions are defined by a series of percent differences
across similiar time periods.
For example, if the current time is 8:30 AM on a Tuesday the
most recent Average Speed and Jam Factor is compared with the previous two Tuesdays between 8:15
- 8:45 as well as the previous years 15 minutes of data. This establishes
a normal or expected condition which can be compared against to determine if the real time speed
and congestion are outside of these ranges.
Roadways within these ranges are represented by a series of colors. Colors represent roadways
where both the Average Speed and Jam Factor have
met the threshold identified. Roadways must meet both criteria to be given a color, however only
the lowest category where both are met is used. For example, if the Average
Speed meets Red but Jam Factor only meets Yellow, the roadway segement will be colored yellow on
the map.
