Building a Government-owned Open Data Platform for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles

Abstract

<p>The growing recognition of the societal implications stemming from technological advancements highlights the need for innovative governance approaches, particularly in <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/economics-econometrics-and-finance/sustainable-urban-development" title="Learn more about urban environments from ScienceDirect's AI-generated Topic Pages">urban environments</a>. Focused on connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs), this study proposes an integrated analytical framework for a dedicated <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/social-sciences/open-data" title="Learn more about open data from ScienceDirect's AI-generated Topic Pages">open data</a> platform (ODP). By integrating thematic analysis with process landscape and <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/social-sciences/stakeholder-analysis" title="Learn more about stakeholder analysis from ScienceDirect's AI-generated Topic Pages">stakeholder analysis</a> methods, we present a holistic CAV-ODP model positioned to optimize benefits across <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/economics-econometrics-and-finance/industry" title="Learn more about industries from ScienceDirect's AI-generated Topic Pages">industries</a>, public sectors, and society as a whole. We argue that multiple stakeholders can enhance both supply and demand aspects of the CAV-ODP, catalyzing activities such as data access, management, transformation, incubation, coordination, education, and application. Importantly, it advocates for government-led integration of interests spanning private and public domains, fostering a collaborative social network for data application and innovation. This inquiry not only reveals the <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/social-benefit" title="Learn more about social benefits from ScienceDirect's AI-generated Topic Pages">social benefits</a> generated by open CAV data but also underlines the significance of the CAV-ODP platform as an innovative governance arrangement, serving as a catalyst for a culture of sharing, bolstering <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/social-sciences/collaborative-governance" title="Learn more about collaborative governance from ScienceDirect's AI-generated Topic Pages">collaborative governance</a>, and preserving public value amid disruptive technological changes. Overall, the concept of government leadership is universally applicable, with the tangible power dynamics among the government, <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/social-sciences/private-sector" title="Learn more about private sectors from ScienceDirect's AI-generated Topic Pages">private sectors</a>, and society influencing the expeditious materialization of the proposed framework.</p>
