Data pathways will be explored concerning geospatial technologies and the requirements between open-source data, information security, and geospatial ethics.

As technologies are developed for autonomous transportation, it is critically important that the positional location data is kept secure. Typically through the use of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), often referred to as Global Position System (GPS), as well as ground-based transponders.

Positional awareness through the use of location data, as well as open-source services such as Open Street Map (OSM) will be discussed.
