Mr Kwek Hian Chuan Henry asked the Minister for Transport
a. what will be the measures to protect privacy of drivers when the new satellite ERP system is implemented; and
b. how will the Government store, process and analyse the data collected.
Reply by Minister for Transport Khaw Boon Wan:
The design of the next-generation ERP system will incorporate appropriate security technologies and necessary controls to safeguard the privacy of drivers. This was a key requisite in the tender. The system anonymises and aggregates ERP data for traffic management and analysis. Collected data will not include driver identity. There will also be strict access controls to ensure that only authorised personnel are allowed to access the data.
