• Abstract:
  This report summarizes findings and implementations of probe vehicle data collection based on Bluetooth MAC address matching ; technology. Probe vehicle travel time data are studied in the following field deployment case studies: analysis of traffic characteristics on ; key routes during a special event (the Brickyard 400 race in Indianapolis, IN); assessment of delay to motorists during road construction; ; assessment of motorist compliance with work zone speed limits with and without heavy police enforcement; analysis of route choice ; during road construction in northwestern Indiana; and evaluation of winter operations on a signalized arterial. In addition to these case ; studies, the data collection equipment infrastructure was used to collect data for several other concurrent projects that focused on ; measuring arterial travel time. A discussion of the results from those studies is also provided. In addition to case implementation ; summaries, Appendixes provide recommendations for sensor deployment height and the construction of efficient SQL queries.
