RSS561 Traffic Technology Limited has announced that they have partnered with Bluetrace of The Netherlands, enabling them to introduce an innovative and effective journey time system that simply and cost-effectively meets the challenge of providing the network management performance data required by local authorities. Bluetrace Traffic works in networks with other Bluetrace units to accurately capture the unique MAC address of passing 1835 Bluetooth and wi-fi devices, building a network of origin and destination points and determining journey times.

Says Richard Toomey, managing director of Traffic Technology Limited, “We are delighted to partner with Bluetrace to bring such an innovative and cost-effective solution to the UK market. The system not only provides real time journey time information, it is also ideal for pedestrian and cycle monitoring, or for footfall monitoring of crowded areas such as retail outlets, sports arenas and concert venues.”
