Detecting Mobility Patterns with Stationary Bluetooth Sensors: A real-world Case Study

2015 , Müller, Marc , Schulz, Daniel , Mock, Michael , Hecker, Dirk

A Bluetooth sensor network was built up in the city of Bonn to measure Bluetooth MAC-addresses. The results of the acquired data are separated on a macro level and mobility patterns. We have collected nearly 5 million data points from 14 distinct stationary sensors over a period of 1 month and recognized over 85.000 unique devices. We show that the data is sufficiently dense to detect commuter patterns based on a Fourier analysis. In addition, we discuss limitations found in the dataset and present lessons learned.
