Possibilities and obstacles for the use of cameras in bus traffic The purpose of this part of the Drive Sweden Policy Lab (DSPL) 2021/22 is to explore opportunities and challenges regarding camera surveillance to increase traffic safety and usage of data for a more sustainable, efficient and connected society. Overall aim of DSPL is to explore how technology and service development relate to the existing policies for future mobility services, to show the need for changes in regulations as well as to propose solutions. The project is partly financed by Sweden´s innovation agency Vinnova, through its strategic innovation program Drive Sweden, and partly by the project parties. Key questions in this part of the project are how to use data from cameras and other sensors collected by public transport, in particular which use cases can be applied and demonstrated already now and which areas have further potential? How do we manage risks to personal integrity and which partners need to be involved as well as how need policies and regulations be adapted to continue the technological development so that the use cases can become reality in the future? Within the framework of the subproject, use cases for outward-facing front cameras in buses and a permanently mounted traffic camera in Barkarby/Järfälla municipality are identified and demonstrated. Information from cameras and other sensors could be used for monitoring the traffic environment to support traffic management in increasing accessibility of public transport and safety today and for future autonomous operations. In workshops and interviews with the project we map opportunities and obstacles that exist for the use of cameras and other sensors in bus traffic. In summary, our subproject shows that existing legislation allows cameras within a narrow area of use for public transport, namely the situation when a private actor uses a camera where only aggregated anonymised data leaves the camera. To apply this on a larger scale, technology is not an obstacle to progress. Yet, what we need is to improve public acceptance for the technology, in particular a better understanding of the possibilities of new cameras and its ability to keep personal integrity intact, to establish business models and actor collaborations for usage of the data, as well as a legislation that opens up for more use cases and is faster when it comes to permission processes.
