Smart cities, smart mobility and personal data protection

Abstract

In this paper, the author addresses the issues related to data protection in the context of large territorial smart mobility plans. The first part of the paper introduces smart mobility systems and discusses the new problems that arise from these applications, which have an impact both on individual privacy and collective data protection. The second part analyses how these issues have been addressed in a specific leading smart mobility project realised in Italy, which has involved transport companies, local government and academic research.
