Insurers' journeys to build a mastery in the IoT usage

1. Open Transport and Traffic
Data
A new 'virtual' infrastructure

2. Digital Disruption
Trying to predict the future is like trying to
drive down a country road at night with no
lights while looking out the back window.
(Peter Drucker)
It is impossible to predict the time and
progress of revolution. It is governed by its
own more or less mysterious laws.
(Vladimir Lenin)
3. Digital Disruption
1900’s – cars, motorcycles and trucks
2000’s – digital technologies and
communications
Government roles?
Industry roles?

5. Policy Framework for Intelligent
Transport Systems in Australia
ITS development and implementation must
deliver demonstrable benefits
◦ ITS planning and implementation will facilitate
competition and consumer-driven outcomes
The policy environment in which ITS are
developed and implemented must be robust
and dynamic,
◦ regulatory and non-regulatory processes.
6. Traveller and traffic information
supply chain
From Austroads (2010), Research Report AP-R352-10 The Commercial and Core Function Role of
Road Agencies in Providing Raw Data and/or Traveller Information
12. Customer Types
◦ Industry
◦ App Developers
◦ Public
◦ Transport and road agency operations and planning
Real-time traffic information
13. Real-time traffic information
Interviewed public complacent / not overly
concerned about general traffic delays
More interested in Incidents, Events and Roadworks
Pre-trip planning seems to be rare
Perception of radio info is very mixed
No apparent open data
standard
◦ Create public ‘language’ for
traffic information similar to
weather bureau ‘language’
for weather
14. App developers need to know
If the data and API documentation is kept
◦ up to date,
◦ reliable
◦ online
Licenses or agreements to use the data
17. Supporting data
Places real-time data into context
To create information
Quality is crucial
18. Cooperative ITS
Wireless communications
◦ between vehicles
◦ with roadside infrastructure
Enables the next generation of systems that
◦ cooperatively
work together
◦ deliver safety,
efficiency and
environmental
outcomes
20. Cooperative ITS
Facing new or enhanced responsibilities
◦ key stakeholders in supply chain
◦ To meet emerging map data requirements
21. Multiple pressures
Consumers of digital
transport and traffic products
◦ Digital app developer industry
Open Data policy
Demands for improved
project planning rigour and
transparency
Cooperative Intelligent
Transport Systems
22. A new type of public
infrastructure for transport
Basic core data resource
Paradigm shift
◦ From internal planning, design and operational
resource
→To public good resource that is continually available
23. A new type of public
infrastructure for transport
24. A new type of public
infrastructure for transport
Scenario: A new road
Soon:
◦ a road agency will not open a new road without the
virtual data infrastructure also being available
Project scope: expand to include data change
control.
◦ This may entail versioning and release control
A new ‘virtual’ road added to the network
◦ ‘street directory’ business model (printed or
electronic) will not be acceptable
25. Privacy
Real and perceived concerns
NTC
◦ Recommendations to address privacy
issues raised include:
◦ Adopt privacy-by-design principles
◦ Seek the highest possible level of
anonymity with C-ITS data messages
◦ Specific legislative protections may
need to be developed if individuals can
be reasonably identifiable
26. Conclusions
Uncertainty
Performance standards
◦ No digital potholes
◦ Enhanced approaches to data management
How will government respond?
◦ Local government?
◦ ‘Impresarios’?
Difficulty of cultural shift?
Privacy concerns (real or perceived)?
27. A ‘virtual’ public infrastructure
for transport
The new reality in the digital age
