**This dataset is no longer actively maintained, because the devices referenced in this dataset have been removed from operation.**

This dataset contains information about travel sensors in Austin, TX. Travel sensors are owned and operated by the City of Austin Transportation Department and are used to monitor traffic conditions across the city.

The output of these sensors is available for download in the following datasets:

Radar traffic counts related to this dataset with the 'KITS ID' value of a wavetronix travel sensor.

In November 2020, Austin voters approved $460 million for transportation infrastructure including sidewalks, transportation-related bikeways, urban trails, transportation safety projects (Vision Zero), safe routes to school and substandard streets.

The City of Austin evaluated Circle S Road as part of the 2016 Mobility Bond. This preliminary engineering project evaluated road conditions for possible future design and construction opportunities on Circle S Road between Eberhart Lane and Foremost Drive.

Between 2020 and 2023, protected bikeways and intersection improvements were installed along Barton Skyway. As of Spring 2024, the Austin Transportation and Public Works Department (TPW) is considering changes to these previously installed improvements.

While the existing Barton Springs Road bridge is in fair condition structurally, many of its features are functionally obsolete and require rehabilitation or replacement to ensure safety and longevity. Given that the existing bridge presents mobility challenges for vehicles, bikes and pedestrians, this project will provide needed mobility enhancements for all users.

This dataset contains information about Bluetooth devices detected by our Bluetooth travel sensors. Each record contains a detected device’s 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

How does the City of Austin use the Bluetooth travel sensor data?
The data enables transportation engineers to better understand short and long-term trends in Austin’s traffic patterns, supporting decisions about systems planning and traffic signal timing.

What information does the data contain?
The sensor data is available in three datasets:

Individual Address Records ( https://data.austintexas.gov/dataset/Bluetooth-Travel-Sensors-Individual-Addresses/qnpj-zrb9/data )
Each row in this dataset represents a Bluetooth device that was detected by one of our sensors. Each record contains a detected device’s 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

Individual Traffic Matches ( https://data.austintexas.gov/dataset/Bluetooth-Travel-Sensors-Individual-Traffic-Matche/x44q-icha/data )
Each row in this dataset represents one Bluetooth enabled device that detected at two locations in the roadway network. Each record contains a detected device’s 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.

Traffic Summary Records ( https://data.austintexas.gov/dataset/Bluetooth-Travel-Sensors-Match-Summary-Records/v7zg-5jg9 )
The 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.

Does this data contain personally identifiable information?
No. The Media Access Control (MAC) addresses in these datasets are randomly generated.

This dataset contains information about the location of the Austin MetroBike bicycle rental kiosks.
