Lesson Learned
NYCDOT first approached the Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC), Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), United Parcel Service (UPS), and others to propose a large-scale deployment of connected vehicles. The meetings included technical, operations, and legal personnel to address a wide range of issues, including device installation, maintenance requirements, operating hours, operator selection, geographic coverage areas, stakeholder responsibilities, system operation, driver interface, and data collection activities. A concern of all stakeholders was that any data generated could, if collected, be used for driver evaluation or that such data could be subpoenaed for criminal and/or civil suits or the subject of a freedom of information act (FOIA) request for any and all records available that could then be merged with other records (e.g. police accident reports) and used in legal proceedings, disciplinary proceedings, or insurance negotiations. However, the City assured their stakeholders that they would be implementing a number of measures to protect the privacy of the participants and to make sure that the data collected cannot be disaggregated and analyzed or merged with other data (e.g. police accident records) to determine the exact actions and location history of any specific operator or vehicle.
