4. What is Bluetooth? Bluetooth is a standard wire-replacement communications protocol primarily designed for low power consumption, with a short range (power-class-dependent) based on low- cost transceiver microchips in each device. [10] Because the devices use a radio (broadcast) communications system, they do not have to be in visual line of sight of each other,transceivermicrochips [10] Wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances (using short- wavelength radio transmissions in the ISM band from 2400–2480 MHz) from fixed and mobile devices, creating personal area networks (PANs) with high levels of security. WirelessISMpersonal area networks Bluetooth uses a radio technology called frequency-hopping spread spectrum, which chops up the data being sent and transmits chunks of it on up to 79 bandsfrequency-hopping spread spectrum

25. Why is Probe Data Useful? Automated Probe Data Supports A True Understanding Recurring, Non-Recurring Congestion Travel Times / Running Speeds Reliability (Buffer Index, etc.) Freight “buffers” multiple hours for US26 eastbound Origins-Destinations Signal timing, which segments are most important to coordinate Consistency of regional or local traffic patterns Impact of new large development (travel times & routing)

26. Why is Bluetooth Useful? Inexpensive source of real-time & historical data Easily definable station locations Segments & Routes (not constrained) Origin-Destinations Limitations include: Unable to distinguish modes of travel Can cast a “wide-net”, beware of closely adjacent facilities Spacing of at least ¼ mile.
