Corporate Partnership Board Report, Policy Insights,

30 April 2015

Road safety improvements can be accelerated through the specification and harmonisation of a limited set of safety-related vehicle data elements.
Transport authorities will need to audit the data they use in order to understand what it says (and what it does not say) and how it can best be used.
More effective protection of location data will have to be designed upfront into technologies, algorithms and processes.
New models of public-private partnership involving data-sharing may be necessary to leverage all the benefits of Big Data.
Data visualisation will play an increasingly important role in policy dialogue.

Corporate Partnership Board Report, Policy Insights,

Self-driving vehicles could change public transport as we currently know it.
The potential impact of self-driving shared fleets on urban mobility is significant. It will be shaped by policy choices and deployment options.
Active management is needed to lock in the benefits of freed space.
Improvements in road safety are almost certain. Environmental benefits will depend on vehicle technology.
New vehicle types and business models will be required.
Public transport, taxi operations and urban transport governance will have to adapt.
Mixing fleets of shared self-driving vehicles and privately-owned cars will not deliver the same benefits as a full TaxiBot/AutoVot fleet - but it still remains attractive.
