A very common way of measuring traffic volumes is via bluetooth MAC address broadcasts. The Wisconsin DOT even makes the traffic counts derived from this data interactive and public: https://wisdot.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?...

Interesting....evermore vehicles being BT enabled == traffic's always increasing?!

Sounds like great job security for DOTs.
