BLUESISBluetooth-Based Traffic Analytics System
Track Your Journeys with BLUESIS
BLUESIS is a Bluetooth-Based Traffic Analytics System that analyzes citywide mobility using data obtained from Bluetooth-enabled devices and generates comprehensive traffic information on travel times and route movements.
BLUESIS sensors installed at different points across the city detect the MAC addresses of in-vehicle audio systems, mobile phones, headsets, and other Bluetooth-enabled devices. Records obtained at different sensor points are matched by the MANGO Bluetooth Analytics Module to determine travel time, average speed, route movements, and interzonal travel distributions.
Bluetooth-Based Traffic Analytics System
BLUESIS is a travel time and mobility measurement system that analyzes traffic movements using the detection times of Bluetooth-enabled devices at different sensor points. It consists of sensors positioned in different areas of the city.
When a Bluetooth device is detected by two or more sensors, the records are evaluated together with time and location information; this enables travel time and average speed between sensors, route usage, interzonal movement distribution, vehicle trajectories, and Origin-Destination relationships to be determined.
BLUESIS does more than measure average travel times between sensor points; it also enables vehicle trajectories to be created, Origin-Destination matrices to be prepared, and movements belonging to different transport modes to be analyzed. Collected data is visualized, analyzed, and archived through the MANGO Bluetooth Analytics Module.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does BLUESIS do? +
BLUESIS detects Bluetooth-enabled devices at different sensor points and generates travel time, average speed, route movement, and Origin-Destination information.
Does BLUESIS read license plates? +
No. BLUESIS is not a license plate recognition system. It performs traffic analysis using records obtained from Bluetooth-enabled devices.
Is BLUESIS an electronic enforcement system? +
No. BLUESIS does not generate traffic violation or penalty records. It produces mobility data for traffic analysis and transportation planning.
Which devices can BLUESIS detect? +
In-vehicle audio systems, mobile phones, headsets, and other Bluetooth-enabled devices can be detected.
How does BLUESIS measure travel time? +
The times at which the same Bluetooth device is detected at two different sensors are compared. The time difference between the two detections constitutes the travel time.
How does BLUESIS determine average speed? +
Average speed is calculated by dividing the known distance between sensors by the measured travel time.
What is the detection range of BLUESIS? +
Under suitable field conditions, the system has a bidirectional detection range of up to 200 meters.
Can BLUESIS operate on solar power? +
Yes. Thanks to its low power consumption, it can operate with a solar panel option.
How is BLUESIS data sent to the center? +
Data can be transferred to the central system through fiber or GSM communications infrastructure.
Is data lost if the connection is interrupted? +
No. During a connection outage, data is stored in internal memory. When the connection is restored, the records are transmitted to the center.
Can BLUESIS analyze pedestrian movements? +
Yes. Records obtained from Bluetooth-enabled devices can be used to analyze pedestrian movements between defined areas.
Can BLUESIS analyze cyclist mobility? +
Yes. Cyclist mobility analyses can be generated from the movements of Bluetooth-device-carrying cyclists between sensor points.
How does BLUESIS work with MANGO? +
BLUESIS collects Bluetooth device records in the field. The MANGO Bluetooth Analytics Module matches these records to generate analyses such as travel time, average speed, route movement, density maps, and Origin-Destination matrices.
Does BLUESIS installation require intervention in the road? +
No. BLUESIS is not a sensor installed in the road surface. Therefore, installation and servicing do not require intervention in the road surface.
Can BLUESIS integrate with traffic control centers? +
Yes. The system can integrate with traffic control centers using OCIT and NTCIP standards.
