Abstract:This report summarizes the results of a project that was completed to develop a system to allow multiple ODOT users with different administrative authority to locate and schedule different types of equipment in ODOT district and county garages. The project was divided into two phases. The results of Phase 1 indicated that the optimum tracking system should not consist of one type of tracking device, but rather a mix of Global Positioning System (GPS) and Bluetooth low energy (BLE) devices. In addition, the tracking software should be custom-made to integrate the various types of tracking devices into one system that is user-friendly for ODOT personnel. Phase 2 of this study included identifying and evaluating different types of BLE enabled GPS (GPS-BLE) devices, which can be used to track the various types of ODOT equipment and are able to detect BLE beacons. In addition, different types of BLE beacons were identified and their ability to track the different types of ODOT equipment was examined. Based on these evaluations, one GPS-BLE device and two types of BLE beacons were selected for further evaluation.
