For information about the City of Austin's Bluetooth travel sensor data, visit our documentation page:
https://github.com/cityofaustin/hack-the-traffic/tree/master/docs

Each row in this dataset represents one Bluetooth enabled device that detected at two locations in the City of Austin's Bluetooth sensor 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.

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.

Effective March 1st, 2022, this dataset is no longer maintained. For current micromobility data, please refer to our 3rd-party data provider's dashboard: https://public.ridereport.com/austin.

Please note: Only aggregated data is currently available for micromobility trips. For several reasons, including privacy concerns, individual trip data is no longer being collected.

------
This dataset contains shared micromobility vehicle trip data reported to the City of Austin Transportation and Public Works Department as part of the Shared Small Vehicle Mobility Systems operating rules.

Note that our official trip reporting metrics only include trips which meet the following criteria:
- Trip distance greater than or equal to 0.1 miles and less than 500 miles
- Trip duration less than 24 hours

This dataset supports measure M.C.6.b of SD 2023. The source of the data is the Austin Department of Transportation. Each row displays the percent of the All Ages and Abilities Bicycle Network completed. This dataset can be used to understand the progress made towards completing the All Ages and Abilities Bicycle Network.

The Urban Trails dataset describes a specific type of pedestrian and bicycle-user infrastructure. The ideal design of an Urban Trail is an off-street, 12 foot wide concrete path that can accommodate a variety of trail users including bicyclists, pedestrians, wheel chair users, parents with strollers, kids on razor scooters and so on. Since the first Urban Trails Master Plan was adopted in September 2014 not all existing trail segments in this dataset strictly comply with the guidelines described in Appendix A: Trail Design Criteria of the Urban Trails Master Plan. The Urban Trails network is intended to be a part of the greater Active Transportation Network and may relate to the on-street bicycle network or the sidewalk network, as well as City of Austin parks. In this dataset, many Urban Trail endpoints connect to the City of Austin’s streets dataset or the City of Austin’s parks dataset.

Safe Routes to School (SRTS) projects include over 4600 total recommendations for improving safety for students walking and biking to school. Of those, 1864 recommendations rank high or very-high benefit and are the focus of implementation.

All SRTS projects are selected for implementation using the following guiding principles:
1) Implement projects that have either a high / very-high overall benefit; or a high / very high cost / benefit score,
2) Make meaningful improvements walking and bicycling to as many schools as possible;
3) For the 2016 bond funding, balance funding equally per district, as per council direction;
4) Other available sources of funding will be leveraged to implement additional projects.

This dataset reports the progress of the Austin Transportation Department's Annual Signal Timing Program. Traffic signal engineers re-time approximately 1/3 of the city’s 1,000+ signals each year, with the goal of ensuring signals are timed for optimum safety and performance.

This data powers our Signal Re-timing dashboard, available here:
https://data.mobility.austin.gov/signal-timing

This dataset supports measure M.D.2 of SD 2023. The original source of the data is the Texas Department of Transportation supplemented by analysis from the Austin Transportation Department. Each row represents the number of crashes resulting in fatalities or injuries due to the top contributing factors for a year. This dataset can be used to understand the trends in the number and percentages of crashes resulting in serious injuries or fatalities caused by the top contributing factors.
