Bluetooth Low Energy based Dataset for Smartphone localization in moving vehicles for electronic toll collection.

The collected Dataset presents a data collection based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology and the use of smartphones for the purposes of vehicle localization and tracking. The system is based on a two-dimensional 8 switched-beam directive panel antennas mounted on an electronic toll collection (ETC) gateway. The multibeam antenna topology is installed on the ETC at a height of 4.7 m and the data collected from several experiments, together with the set-up and methodology, are reported here. The data collection can be divided into two main sections. First, the system was calibrated in an 8 x 8 meter area below the ETC. The distance between adjacent test points is 0.5 m, with a total of 100 samples measured for each test point in every 8 switched-beam panel antenna. Secondly, the results of dynamic test with vehicles passing at different speeds carrying smartphones and using BLE are detailed. As a validation of the dataset, a benchmark analysis for data visualization and localization/tracking estimation applying MUltiple SIgnal Classification and fingerprinting algorithms is included.
