Legal conditions for implementing EDRs in public fleets of vehicles

This paper describes the needed legal conditions to implement Event Data Recorder in public fleets of vehicles. These conditions are specific because vehicles are owned by the government or local authorities and can be used by different kind of persons. The legal terms concern technical conditions and have to ensure the recommendations of the authority protecting privacy and personal data. Potential drivers have to be informed about the presence of an EDR in the vehicles and about the recorded data. Users are free to agree (or not) for recording data and their hierarchy can't access these data against their employees. The EDR has to not affect the vehicle safety and all vehicles have to be declared to the government. All these legal conditions have been applied for a French project but are valid for all European countries since they are based on the human right and the European laws.
