Particular Recommendations Sample Clauses

Particular Recommendations. ▪ Hypothesis on the type of data collected One of the main features of the SafeTRIP platform is the ability to collect various data concerning the vehicle. European authorities consider non-anonymous data collection as a very sensitive subject and, in order to study the potential issues concerning the privacy protection, there is a need to have a clear view concerning the data that are collectable via the SafeTRIP platform. However, note that this list is not exhaustive and does not imply that all these features will be used. The following sections detail the type of data that can be collected via SafeTRIP and on which we shall focus for privacy protection rights. ▪ Geolocation data and speed Some of categories of SafeTRIP On Board Units (OBU) that are able to retrieve Geolocation information and, as a consequence, information such as the speed of the vehicle. This data allows to track the vehicle, to monitor its speed but also to know if it is moving or parked and the distance travelled. This type of data is typically used by transportation professionals to track their vehicles and to perform fleet management. Insurance companies have started to use this data in order to provide automobile insurance whereby the costs of motor insurance are dependent upon the type of vehicle used, measured against time, distance and place. ▪ Pictures/video/audio records The data rate of the SafeTRIP platform allows the collection of pictures, short videos and audio recorded by the vehicle (for example via an embedded camera). These features are not widely used yet but it is important to understand the restrictions imposed by the privacy protection rights. ▪ Data related to the vehicle status In some cases, an extensive integration between the SafeTRIP On-Board Unit and the vehicle can be achieved. This implies that the platform is able to collect data strongly linked to the car status such as: - Electrical and mechanical status - Electrical and mechanical anomalies - Behaviour of the driver regarding the vehicle (strong accelerations, …) - Etc. This feature can be used by car manufacturers to monitor and to keep a continuous link with their vehicles in order to assist in the maintenance. ▪ Non automatic data (eCall button, speed camera signalling…) The non automatic data represents all information that is not collected automatically but is sent by the user, for example by pushing a button. For example, in case of a vehicle robbery, the SafeTRIP platform could collect the G...
