The original message was received from Professor Darcy Bullock of Purdue University

SUBJECT: Purdue ITE Student Chapter Webinar on December 3: 1230-1345 (NY Time)...

Colleagues:

Our CE 597/ITE Student chapter will be giving a briefing on their Bluetooth Travel Time Study during the Purdue-Penn State game. This was an unusually large student project involving many students, faculty, staff, and local professionals. I would be pleased it if you would consider joining us (details below) and/or forwarding this email along to colleagues. The students did a dry run of this on Tuesday (11/18) for the Indiana ITE Section and were written up on the front page of the local newspaper(http://jconline.com/article/20081119/NEWS0501/811190330&referrer=FRONTPAGECAROUSEL). Members in the Lafayette area welcome to attend the briefing in person in STEWART ROOM 306 instead.

Students will provide a briefing on their October 4 and October 18 data collections efforts (with and without game traffic) along US 231, SR 25, US 52, SR 25, and SR 43. During this study they collected several thousand Bluetooth MAC addresses both inside the stadium and at stations along the above highways (15 different geographically distributed stations). Subsequently they performed a modernized version of an electronic license plate study to estimate segment travel time, O-D patterns, and temporal distribution of people leaving the stadium. This project was patterned after the work performed by INDOT during the Brickyard 400 in July 2008(ftp://ftp.ecn.purdue.edu/darcy/bluetoot ... me_webinar ).

Caution: Please try the above gomeet URL on the machine you will be using to access the webinar prior to the meeting. Adobe Flash must be installed on the PC accessing the webinar. My understanding is that in some cases this may require administrative privileges, so I would encourage you to try the link at least a day ahead of time….
