It seems pretty weird to use all English words in the domain for a service that offers no English translations and operates in no English speaking countries.
The Germans and Danes and Swedes and Norwegians I see on the Internet developing and publishing software often have a better grasp of the English language than many born in the USA Americans.

If I had a dollar for every time I've seen an American on the Internet assume that anything published in the English language must be US-centric...

The authors of this project also shared that they intend on publishing more around this project. This seems to be mostly an early demo that was intended for the live event.
Cool, but it there's no links for more info, and it doesn't seem to work in the USA at all.
The project was shared as part of a talk at Graz Linux Tage. You can find it here, unfortunately it is only available in German https://media.ccc.de/v/glt26-688-c-its-mit-einem-esp32-ampel...

It's entirely reasonable to expect that a project with an extremely similar name would also work in most of the world, which just happens to include the USA.
I wonder if this could be used to track location of the vehicle
Does Graz not have night bus service?

You still wouldn't have nearly as many dollars if you subtracted the times those people were correct in that assumption. Personally I assumed the site would be global. It doesn't have any info though, so I rely on finding out somewhere else I guess.
The only reason you would assume a site would be global is if your definition of "global" is "works in the US" & you never bother to check for support of other countries. I live in the anglosphere outside of the US & I encounter more than enough US-only web projects for that not be to a default assumption I hold.
Most sites are not global - it's very odd to assume they would be.

The concept is that there is this protocol called ITS-G5, which is a European profile of 802.11p. Vehicles and traffic infrastructure can transmit telemetry on 5 GHz. Other vehicles and traffic infrastructure can use it for situational awareness.
This website collects that data using local receivers and aggregates it onto a map, similar to what website like ADSB-Exchange do with ADS-B.
What is concerning is that vehicles appear to broadcast a MAC address. Does this mean that ITS-G5, 802.11p, and C-ITS could be used for persistent tracking?
