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.

This dataset supports measure M.A.2.a of SD 2023. The source of the data is the Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Each row displays the statistics related to performance by time.This dataset can be used to know more about on-time performance trends for transit in Austin.

This dataset supports measure M.C.3 of SD 2023. The sources of data are the American Community Survey and Capital Metro. Each row displays the percent of population in a census tract block group that has access to innovative public transit service, or is within a quarter mile of regular fixed route transit. This dataset can be used to understand the percentage of population that has access to innovative public transit service or is within a quarter mile of a regular fixed transit route.

Note on data currency: The vendor for the trip data has changed, and TPW are working with CapMetro and the new vendor to obtain more current trip data. We will refresh the data as soon as it becomes available.

This dataset contains trip data from the Austin MetroBike bicycle sharing program.

Note that trips less than 2 minutes are not included in this dataset. Rebalancing and maintenance trips by MetroBike staff are also not included.
