Denmark’s second largest city has installed the BlipTrack Bluetooth based traffic monitoring system to monitor travel times and traffic flow. The sensors have been installed at strategic locations around the city and following eight months of testing, the company says the non-intrusive system provides the same information as alternative and more expensive solutions such as ANPR and loops.
Sixty sensors are currently installed around the city to monitor travel times, detect changes in traffic patterns and warn of congestion and delays, and optimise traffic signals to smooth traffic flow.
BlipTrack uses small and discreet sensors to detect the unique anonymous ID from Bluetooth devices in passing vehicles to calculate travel time and provide data for origin/destination matrices. The company says the system provides precise and cost-efficient information that is as valid as data from other traffic measurement technology.
BlipTrack claims that compared to other traffic measurement technologies, Bluetooth measurement has significant advantages, including inexpensive installation and little or no maintenance, and quick and easy configuration and calibration.
