The objective of this project is to establish the commercial shipping traffic for all bridges located over navigable waterways in Florida. Knowing the commercial shipping traffic, a risk analysis can be performed which optimizes the vessel collision design. This data will be developed on a statewide basis so that the commercial vessel traffic can be provided to the design teams. This work will result in reducing bridge design and construction cost by use of consistent data for all bridge sites and uniform application of the risk analysis approach. It is estimated that 401 bridge sites are qualified for this synthesization process.
