Abstract:SINCE SURFACE TRANSPORTATION MOVES PEOPLE & GOODS ALONG PUBLIC ROADS & TRANSIT SYSTEMS, IT MAY SEEM ODD TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT PRIVACY IN SUCH A HIGHLY PUBLIC CONTEXT. AND YET, RESPECTING PRIVACY WILL BE IMPORTANT, AS ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES IMPROVE HIGHWAYS & OTHER SURFACE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS ACROSS THE AMERICAN LANDSCAPE. WITHOUT PROPER RESPECT FOR PRIVACY, APPLICATION OF ADVANCED TRANSPORTATION TECHNOLOGIES TO SURFACE TRANSPORTATION COULD BECOME EITHER A TECHNOLOGICAL ROAD NOT TAKEN OR A VERITABLE WEB OF INFORMATION WHICH SUBJUGATES INDIVIDUALS & TRAMMELS PERSONAL FREEDOM. FIGURING OUT HOW TO STRUCTURE TRANSPORTATION APPLICATIONS OF ADVANCED COMPUTER, COMMUNICATIONS & OTHER TECHNOLOGIES SO THAT THE TECHNOLOGICAL INFRASTRUCTURE RESPECTS INDIVIDUAL PRIVACY WILL BE AMONG THE MOST CHALLENGING LEGAL & SOCIAL ISSUES WHICH CONFRONT THE NEW TRANSPORTATION TECHNOLOGIES KNOWN AS INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS, OR ITS.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PRIVACY & ITS IS RECIPROCAL. PRIVACY WILL, WITHOUT DOUBT, BE AFFECTED BY ITS. BUT ITS WILL ALSO BE AFFECTED BY CONCERNS ABOUT PRIVACY. THIS CIRCULAR RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PRIVACY ISSUES & ITS, IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT NEITHER PRIVACY NOR ITS IS SIMPLE OR STATIC. THIS ARTICLE WILL EXPLORE SOME OF THE INTERESTING INTERACTIONS BETWEEN PRIVACY & ITS. IT WILL BEGIN BY SKETCHING THE OUTLINES OF ITS TECHNOLOGIES & WILL THEN CONSIDER THE NATURE OF PRIVACY CONCERNS ABOUT ITS, FOLLOWED BY A DISCUSSION OF ITS CONCERNS ABOUT PRIVACY & PRIVACY LAWS POTENTIALLY APPLICABLE TO ITS. A DISCUSSION OF SOME STRATEGIES FOR SAFEGUARDING PRIVACY WILL FORM THE CONCLUDING SECTION OF THIS ARTICLE.
