From Static devices to Shared Data, Information Issues in the Evolving Relationship between Drivers and Road Authorities in the Cases of Paris and Lyon

Résumé

Focusing on Paris and Lyon, this article interrogates the evolution of the relationship between motor-vehicle drivers and the French road authorities. Based on public archives, it demonstrates that, although the main goal of these agencies remained constant, that is to favor automobiles over other means of transport, a change in the relationship between drivers and traffic managers can be traced. This more specifically translates as how driver information has been designed and implemented, and how it has evolved, in terms of policies, stakeholders and technology. From the 1920s to the 1950s and 1960s, the driver was relatively “free” and his relationship with the authorities quite loose. Around 1960, with the expansion of a real-time traffic data collection infrastructure, the driver-authorities relation evolved into an increasingly control-related relationship between the traffic manager and the driver. Starting in the mid-1990s, this link between the driver and the authorities gradually weakened. As drivers themselves started to generate data, private intermediaries designed an individualized relationship.
