Overview

Background & policy context:

For the collection, handling, dispersion and use of intermodal traffic information by third parties a number of legal issues are involved. A specific “Traffic telematics and traffic information law” does not exist. Particularly the data privacy law, contract law and the intangible property rights (patent, copyright) represent the substantially affected legal spheres.

Objectives:

From a pool of possible traffic applications, groups will be defined. First, systems with a lot of users and a lot of money transfer, and systems with a lot of users, ecological issues, and data protection critical issues are selected. Second, applications with special technologies in case of improvement of comfort or security will be analysed. Analysing these applications, the dissemination, improvement and visualisation in polychromic media by third parties will be a central view. More or less these studies will different horizontal (closed systems) and vertical application (in a chain disseminated data). Finally, also other factors will be analysed, which are important for mobility services. In a conclusion inconsistencies and additions of the different law areas will be shown and recommendations for further use (maybe a change of national law or including in national framework plans).

Methodology:

The analysis of the affected legal domains for the defined applications in the different modes of transport took place along a typical project process. From the experiences of the participating partners existing applications and systems were analysed. Based on these exemplary applications mandatory provisions of the law as well as general contract law (necessary to take care of economic interests) have been evaluated.
