Pictures of You, Pictures of Me - User Acceptance of Camera-technology in Intelligent Transport Systems

The integration of connected and smart technology is a key factor of our future traffic system development. By integrating traffic participants into the technology development circle, possible trade-offs, obstacles and advances can be identified and further, an understanding of technology acceptance can be evolved. This paper will show, how camera-based technology in intelligent transport systems is evaluated from a user-centred perspective. The focus of this work lies on the identification and evaluation of perceived benefits and barriers, but also conditional and functional aspects are investigated as well as an overall acceptance picture. Results show, that the need for technology is not denied, but privacy concerns and a feeling of surveillance still re-
