We propose a simulation model of Bluetooth (BT) passive scanning for vehicular traffic monitoring. The model is designed to simulate packet detection in the physical and Medium Access Control (MAC) layers for fixed BT sensors. At the physical layer, we consider the radio propagation effects of path loss, small- and large-scale fading. At the MAC layer, we model channel hopping and packet collisions.Associated to a vehicular traffic simulator, our proposal provides a cost-efficient way to generate large-scale BT traffic measurement datasets including both sensor and ground-truth data, avoiding deployment costs.We validate the model by comparing the simulation output to experimental data and we show a simulation use-case of vehicular traffic monitoring in a complex urban context.
