In the entire arena of actors, digital mobility is currently on the verge of setting a course for the socially compatible design of digitisation that has not been possible since the beginning of the Internet ('trial-and-error'). The collective term 'digital mobility' summarises a large number of aspects of digitisation in the field of transport and mobility, which have been internationally referred and analyzed over the past 30 years as 'traffic telematics', 'e-traffic', 'intelligent road', 'multimodal transport use', 'safe vehicle communication' and 'safe vehicle communication', digital mobility in 'smart cities', 'automation of vehicles' and the Autonomous Driving'.
Further subareas for users - such as the mobile and location-based digital services - are thus above the narrow limits of the transport sector is definitively included under digital mobility.
The objectives in the actor arena of digitisation are formulated in unison:
Innovative data architectures with Big Data and AI data processing, new propulsion units, new traffic mix possibilities and cost-effective sensors such as actuators for automated driver support through to autonomous vehicles will reduce the number of accidents and pursue the goals of maintaining the mobility of people and property as well as traffic-related mitigation of climate change impacts.
According to the worldwide reaction, the business location with a European data protection concept can even play an innovative pacemaker role for infrastructures and Data architecture.
In the agendas for digitisation, too little attention has so far been paid to the fact that in the case of future digital mobility not only the expansion or improvement of already existing digital networks need and will be improved, but also the development of disruptive new conception is necessary and also possible in terms of time.
The EU Transport Commissioner has recently announced a legal act that will come into force in the summer of 2019 and is intended to provide stakeholders with planning certainty. Here, important decisions for 'Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems' with compatible infrastructures (WLAN, 5G, C-ITS boxes) and the necessary data governance are under discussion.
With this legal act, the Commission wants to "ensure that the personal data of the driver and keeper are not misused (and) any personal data, such as the geographical location (location data), are only used to increase road safety and are not provided by third parties". can be abused".
The use of data in digital mobility should "comply with the stringent
restrictions of the EU-DSVGO". The project will contribute to a cross-stakeholder and societal shaping of digital mobility. Otherwise, the continuation of current conflicts, including data scandals, is inevitable.
Example of policy questions are:
- Should a basic service for vehicle location data, e.g. in a trustee organization, be developed in consideration of the existing business models in order to to ensure the necessary data protection by design?
- Should the necessary cooperation between European manufacturers, equipment suppliers and operators be based on a fully transparent EU antitrust framework?
- Should the data trade of private providers with personalised location data be strictly regulated or even prohibited?
- In view of the EU copyright reform, should OpenStreetMap be supported under transparent and clear framework conditions for applications in the location data service?
- Should a computer-autonomous generation of initial suspicions possible with Big Data and Artificial Intelligence be prevented especially in real time due to location tracking?
The workshop will develop further key questions for stakeholders on data governance in digital mobility
practical recommendations for framework conditions are formulated in the Discourse Report. This contributions from the entire arena are open-ended from an analytical point of view and could play a crucial point for further reports.
