May 22, 2008-- Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) has awarded Transdyn a contract to upgrade the existing DYNAC Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System for the Skyway train. The system monitors power distribution, station fire, security, and track switches.
Transdyn will upgrade the SCADA servers, workstations, network, and peripheral equipment located at the Operations Control Center. Configuration, testing, training, and documentation will also be provided. The new system will enable the Authority to take advantage of the latest DYNAC features and improve operational efficiency.
The automated JTA Skyway provides riders with easy access to their workplace, hotels, restaurants, and entertainment venues in downtown Jacksonville offering downtown patrons and employees a low cost and convenient travel option.
The Jacksonville Transportation Authority (www.jtafla.com), an independent state agency serving Duval County, has multi-modal responsibilities. JTA designs and constructs bridges and highways and provides varied mass transit services including bus service, Skyway monorail, Trolley service, ALLTEL Stadium Shuttle, JTA Connexion for the disabled and elderly, and ChoiceRide that connects employers and employees to job access through customized transportation options.
