"Smart" cards # may be used to automatically track individual people and deduct tolls or # bus fares. * REMARKS PREPARED FOR DELIVERY * Technology and Privacy in Intelligent Transportation Systems * http://weber.ucsd.edu/~pagre/cfp-its.html Phil Agre * * Conference on Computers, Freedom, and Privacy San Francisco, March 1995 * * Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are being developed in most of * the industrialized countries. Promoters of such systems envision * information technology being applied to transportation systems in a * variety of ways, primarily on public highways. Applications extend from * wireless provision of traffic information to drivers to automatic * toll-collection to law enforcement to totally automated vehicles. * * ITS may entail the collection of large amounts of information on the * travels of particular people, for example through the automatic * collection of tolls through road-side radio beacons that interact * with transponders attached to individual cars. * * This information obviously invites a wide range of secondary uses, from * law enforcement to targeted marketing to political repression. The rules * governing the collection, dissemination, and protection of this * information have not yet been settled, although the decision-making * process is already fairly far along. * * If ITS lives up to the expectations of its developers then it will have * implications for virtually everybody. Yet public awareness of ITS is very * low, and awareness of the privacy issues in ITS is low even in the * community of privacy advocates. |
