Speaker: Christopher Bone, Assistant Professor, University of Oregon
Date: Thursday, December 10, 2015 - 10:00am

This webinar presents a novel method that utilizes location-based services for collecting public transportation data.
A NITC-funded project at the University of Oregon will be presented that focuses on the development and evaluation of a mobile application based on Bluetooth low energy technology sensors and geofencing technology for crowdsourcing data collection.

The application was employed in a case study using Lane Transit District’s express bus system in the Eugene-Springfield area in western Oregon. The results show that using these types of location-based services offers an effective approach to collecting richer data than traditional means, while requiring only minimal data on an individual's location – thus protecting the user’s locational privacy.

With further data processing and application refinement, the methods presented here have the potential for deployment in transportation agencies that operate at a variety of scales

This research was funded by the National Institute for Transportation and Communities (NITC) at Portland State University - a U.S. Department of Transportation national university transportation center (UTC) funded by the FAST Act.
