Electronic Monitoring Traffic congestion in Hong Kong is a matter of great concern to commuters, environmentalists concerned over air-borne pollution, and the government’s Transport Department. Certain areas of the city that draw tourists get extremely congested at peak times during the day. It has been suggested that owners of private cars should be charged for driving in these tourist zones during peak times. The intention is to discourage locals from increasing the congestion and pollution and enable tourists a less harried view of the city. All registered car owners will have to display a scannable chip in the windshield of their car. The chip will be scanned when a vehicle enters a restricted zone, and the individual will be billed. Extensive use of these roads could also result in additional charges for overuse. As a team, consider both the plus side and minus side of this system. Discuss how this system might invade the privacyof a driver. Identify any barriers that might deter this plan. Report your team’s stand on the plan in a one-page, double-spaced report.
