Bluetooth data collection• Consists of a box on the
side of the road• Collects passing Bluetooth
& Wifi MAC addresses• Addresses come from
smart- phones, tablets, in-car GPS
• Addresses are matched at a secondary location

Types of Data Collection
Suitable usage:• Origin-destination• Travel time• Pedestrian/cyclist OD• Queuing (limited)• Behavioural studies
Unsuitable usage:• Link counts• Turning movements• Vehicle classification• Headway analysis• Spying on your
neighbour

Blip Systems• Austraffic partnered with Blip
November 2013 after extensive testing
• Clever technology & software• Features that improve results
and accuracy• Further details: beyond the
scope of this presentation

Strengths of Bluetooth Surveys• Operate for long periods of time with little
maintenance required• Near real time data feed from site• Remote configurations• Triple zone detection: speed profiles

Bluetooth Limitations
Validation of data with other methodologies to ensure accuracy & completeness of counts
BT results, approx 30% sample.
Video results, approx 97% sample.
A lack of validation could’ve lead to a massive survey bias!

• Classification of sensor hits remains a standing issue• Some clever filtering can give vehicle types• In addition, some MAC addresses are assigned to particular classes,
e.g. In-car Bluetooth

Bluetooth Limitations• The privacy of all user’s personal data entering
the survey area needs to be considered.• The security of personal data after collection
also deserves consideration.• Data collection must pass the privacy test
before we consider issues of security i.e. should we be collecting this piece of data regardless of how it will be protected once collected?

Surveillance Devices Act 1998 W.ASection 6Regulation of use, installation and maintenance of optical surveillance devices (1) Subject to subsections (2) and (3), a person shall not install, use, or maintain, or cause to be installed, used, or maintained, an optical surveillance device — (a) to record visually or observe a private activity to which that person is not a party; or (b) to record visually a private activity to which that person is a party.
Section 7Regulation of use, installation and maintenance of tracking devices (1) Subject to subsections (2) and (3), a person shall not attach, install, use, or maintain, or cause to be attached, installed, used, or maintained, a tracking device to determine the geographical location of a person or object without the express or implied consent of that person or, in the case of a device used or intended to be used to determine the location of an object, without the express or implied consent of the person in possession or having control of that object.
Section 3Interpretationoptical surveillance device means any instrument, apparatus, equipment, or other device capable of being used to record visually or observe a private activity, but does not include spectacles, contact lenses or a similar device used by a person with impaired sight to overcome that impairment; tracking device means any instrument, apparatus, equipment, or other device capable of being used to determine the geographical location of a person or object; private activity means any activity carried on in circumstances that may reasonably be taken to indicate that any of the parties to the activity desires it to be observed only by themselves, but does not include an activity carried on in any circumstances in which the parties to the activity ought reasonably to expect that the activity may be observe

Tracking Devices (SDA)Policy Background Information
Bluetooth (TD). Bluetooth tracking devices should not be used in VIC, NSW and WA to track an individual or an object (i.e. a phone).
An item is a tracking device if its primary purpose is to determine the location of an object or person …that the primary purpose of the device is to calculate the travel time, not the location of the phone…that you plan to destroy the data and use it only to calculate travel time [is] important in concluding that the primary purpose of the Bluetooth reader is not to determine the location of an object or person.
Procedure
In Victoria, Bluetooth readers shall be used for the collection of travel time, origin destination (traffic flow), queuing and delay surveys. The MAC addresses are to be masked at the source, so the raw MAC data is not obtained by Austraffic.

ANPRAutomatic Number Plate
Recognition• Typically used by Police• In portable setups, limited by
usual camera issues; • angle of view, sun glare, weather
conditions• Suitable for short term,high sample rate surveys

ANPR Limitations
The following images were taken from a sample survey using ANPR technology...

Other Survey Methodologies
GPS Floating Car Travel Times• High degree of accuracy• High level of data collection,
including mid/end delays, link speeds
• High degree of cost• Labour intensive
Automatic Traffic Count Data• Longer term surveys (one
week to two months)• Relatively cheap• Reliable• Numbers only, no TM, OD,
delays etc• Not related to speed
camerasManual Surveys• For when you just cant beat
a pair of eyeballs• Useful for queue lengths,
observations, etc
