Each record contains a detected device\u2019s anonymized Media Access Control (MAC) address along with contain information about origin and destination points at which the device was detected, as well the time, date, and distance traveled.\n\nHow does the City of Austin use the Bluetooth travel sensor data?\nThe data enables transportation engineers to better understand short and long-term trends in Austin\u2019s traffic patterns, supporting decisions about systems planning and traffic signal timing.\n\nWhat information does the data contain?\nThe sensor data is available in three datasets:\n\nIndividual Address Records ( https://data.austintexas.gov/dataset/Bluetooth-Travel-Sensors-Individual-Addresses/qnpj-zrb9/data )\nEach row in this dataset represents a Bluetooth device that was detected by one of our sensors. Each record contains a detected device\u2019s anonymized Media Access Control (MAC) address along with the time and location the device was detected. These records alone are not traffic data but can be post-processed to measure the movement of detected devices through the roadway network\n\nIndividual Traffic Matches ( https://data.austintexas.gov/dataset/Bluetooth-Travel-Sensors-Individual-Traffic-Matche/x44q-icha/data )\nEach row in this dataset represents one Bluetooth enabled device that detected at two locations in the roadway network. Each record contains a detected device\u2019s anonymized Media Access Control (MAC) address along with contain information about origin and destination points at which the device was detected, as well the time, date, and distance traveled.\n\nTraffic Summary Records ( https://data.austintexas.gov/dataset/Bluetooth-Travel-Sensors-Match-Summary-Records/v7zg-5jg9 )\nThe traffic summary records contain aggregate travel time and speed summaries based on the individual traffic match records. Each row in the dataset summarizes average travel time and speed along a sensor-equipped roadway segment in 15 minute intervals.\n\nDoes this data contain personally identifiable information?\nNo. The Media Access Control (MAC) addresses in these datasets are randomly generated.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "describedBy": "https://data.austintexas.gov/api/views/x44q-icha/columns.json", "describedByType": "application/json", "downloadURL": "https://data.austintexas.gov/api/views/x44q-icha/rows.json?accessType=DOWNLOAD", "mediaType": "application/json"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "describedBy": "https://data.austintexas.gov/api/views/x44q-icha/columns.rdf", "describedByType": "application/rdf+xml", "downloadURL": "https://data.austintexas.gov/api/views/x44q-icha/rows.rdf?accessType=DOWNLOAD", "mediaType": "application/rdf+xml"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "describedBy": "https://data.austintexas.gov/api/views/x44q-icha/columns.xml", "describedByType": "application/xml", "downloadURL": "https://data.austintexas.gov/api/views/x44q-icha/rows.xml?accessType=DOWNLOAD", "mediaType": "application/xml"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://data.austintexas.gov/api/views/x44q-icha/rows.csv?accessType=DOWNLOAD", "mediaType": "text/csv"}], "identifier": "https://data.austintexas.gov/api/views/x44q-icha", "issued": "2017-03-01", "keyword": ["bluetooth", "mobility", "traffic", "transit", "transportation", "travel sensors", "travel time"], "landingPage": "https://data.austintexas.gov/d/x44q-icha", "modified": "2026-04-03", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "data.austintexas.gov"}, "theme": ["Transportation and Mobility"], "title": "Bluetooth Travel Sensors - Individual Traffic Match Files (ITMF)"}
