Will there be any restrictions on the sensory data for this project?
I'm asking because in our NSF project, within wireless sensor networks (WSNs), a Bluetooth sensor captures the MAC addresses of Bluetooth units equipped in mobile devices and car navigation systems, and a ZigBee transceiver transmits the collected MAC addresses to edge computing device or a server for processing (a cloud-server was proposed in our FHWA Phase II proposal before).
The drawback of the Bluetooth sensor is its dependence on the device being turned on. Thus, visual/RADAR sensors will complement such a drawback, such as video cameras, RTMS RADAR. For example, the RTMS RADAR was used by NJDOT as ground truth for congestion detection/vehicle counting (FHWA sponsored ITS Resource Center), but our results indicated that our video-based vehicle counting reduced the error rate by an order of magnitude.

Please refer to the response to the question titled 'Preferred archived data sources, or is sourcing offeror-driven?'. The presented experiences with various sensor and data processing technologies are valuable for the required system design."
