A Study on Applications and Case Studies Regarding Bluetooth Technology for Travel Time Measurement
2020
Bluetooth technology emerged over twenty years ago and has continuously
improved throughout the years to meet diverse and complex applications. Initially
invented to replace the need for physical data cables, Bluetooth offers users a
quick and easy way to share data files over a wireless network. Traffic
engineers and transportation engineering researchers have utilized the potential
opportunities that exist with Bluetooth and have implemented this technology
into traffic monitoring techniques. To gain a better understanding of Bluetooth
sensors and how they work, a comprehensive literature search was conducted.
Twenty-five articles were studied regarding case studies of Bluetooth sensor
implementation for travel time measurement. Besides reviewing the literature
and previous case studies, three new case studies in the State of Delaware, USA,
were also conducted and carefully analyzed. The benefits and drawbacks
associated with Bluetooth technology for travel time measurements have been
identified in this paper. The overall conclusion of the authors is Bluetooth
alone and by itself is not a proper technology for travel time measurements.
More studies need to be conducted on the accuracy and overall application,
before one can confidently utilize the Bluetooth technology for travel time
measurements.
