• Abstract:
  Robust travel time data collection is possible using Bluetooth™ or Wi-Fi technology that ; matches anonymous MAC addresses from discoverable electronic devices (e.g., smart phones) ; to determine travel time along a roadway segment. Several hundred data points can be ; collected, and analyzed in real-time, each day. Anonymous Re-Identification (ARID), a term ; coined for local Arizona agencies, is commonly used for this technology and is inclusive or ; either Bluetooth™ or Wi-Fi technology. ; The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), Office of P3 Initiatives and International ; Affairs selected Lee Engineering to analyze the penetration rate of ARID technology to measure ; wait time of U.S. and Mexico bound personal vehicles at 6 (six) United States-Mexico Ports of ; Entry (POEs) in Arizona. The purpose of this study is for ADOT and stakeholders to have an ; understanding of ARID data collection technology, validity of measuring wait time at POEs, and ; recommendations on which POEs to install permanent ARID technology, in priority order.
