Overview
The purpose of the Signal 4 Geolocation Tool is to provide FLSHMV and FDOT with the location of crashes by putting the latitude and longitude on crash reports. HSMV transmits crash data to Signal 4 Analytics daily and they upload it to their system.
The location tool is required for all agencies on crash forms and is optional for the UTC. The tool may also be used on the forms below.
Baker/Marchman Act Boating Citation/Warning Call for Service (CFS) DUI Citation Field Interview Report (FIR) FIBRS Offense/Incident Parking/Ordinance Tow Traffic Warning Trespass Warning Uniform Arrest Affidavit (UAA)
Network Configuration
Per the Signal 4 team, the following domains must be whitelisted in order to allow their applications. The first one on the list is crucial for the Geolocation Tool.
Client Machine Configuration
In order for the location tool to work for the end user, client machines must be set up as follows:
1. Location services must be turned on in Windows.
- Windows 10 - In Windows, go to Location. Both Location for this Device and Location must be On.
- Windows 11 - In Windows, go to Privacy & Security, then Location. Location Services must be On.
2. Client machines must use Chrome, Edge, or Firefox as the browser. Internet Explorer (IE) and Safari will not work.
- TraCS will launch whichever browser is set as the default on the client machine. If you would like Chrome, Edge, or Firefox pushed out as the default browser for TraCS, let us know. This will not affect the default browser that they have chosen for Windows.
3. Machines must allow Signal 4 to access their location.
- The first time users launch the tool, they should get a pop up stating that s4.geoplan.ufl.edu wants to know their location. They must press Allow or the map will not work properly.
You may use the site below to launch the geolocation map in a browser outside of TraCS. Locations will not plot but you may use the site to test or update location permissions without having to log into TraCS and open a crash form.
