Slide 3

History Based upon INDOT initiative to measure travel time along freeways and arterials. Wasson, J.S., J.R. Sturdevant, D.M. Bullock, Real-Time Travel Time Estimates Using MAC Address Matching, Institute of Transportation Engineers Journal, ITE, Vol. 78, No. 6, pp. 20- 23, June 2008.

Slide 4

Context of Talk We dont build the fishing poles (private sector is better at that) We teach people to build them We are very nimble at proof of concept research to refine design

Slide 5

Problem Statement How we can leverage pervasive consumer electronics to provide accurate real-time estimates of passengers travelling through a security line. http://www.flyawaycafe.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/getting-through-airport-security.jpg

Slide 6

Concepts This is generally a plug flow system. We only need to measure a modest sample to get accurate estimates Continuous system measurement allow pro- active allocation of resources and establishment of quantitative history. Provides fact based information Analogy to motorists reports vs. reality on delay.

Slide 10

Glossary MAC Address: a 48 bit (>28 trillion) unique address assigned to a device by its manufacturer. Bluetooth: a wireless protocol utilizing short- range communications technology facilitating data transmission over short distances from fixed and/or mobile devices Class Maximum Power Operating Range Class 1 100mW (20dBm) 100 meters Class 2 2.5mW (4dBm) 10 meters Class 3 1mW (0dBm) 1 meter
