Abstract
Origin-Destination information is of crucial importance within the transport modelling and planning space as it makes it possible to understand the movement patterns in a particular area of interest, during a particular period of time. Advancements in wireless communications, specifically Bluetooth, made it possible for transport engineers to utilise this technology for traffic data collection, including Origin-Destination data. This paper investigates the Origin-Destination data obtained from the Bluetooth-Based data collection system in Adelaide for the data collected in the years 2014 and 2015. Twenty eight through movements for ten randomly selected intersections were studied. The percentages of through movements calculated based on the data obtained from the Bluetooth-based traffic data collection system were compared against the percentages of through movements calculated based on the data obtained from Manual Turning Movement Surveys. This research suggests that further improvements are required before Bluetooth-based Origin-Destination data can be used for detailed movement analysis.
