Big Data Creation Process and Measures for Utilization: Focusing on the Transportation Sector

Transportation big data is not limited to the transportation sector, but is a useful resource that will bring innovation to all aspects of our lives in the future, and various R&D for its utilization is currently in progress. However, the current level of utilization of transportation big data is very limited under the existing legal system. In this study, we will investigate the meaning and problems of the use of big data in the transportation sector, and investigate the improvement tasks to expand the use of big data. Research Design, Data and Methodology: The paper used a qualitative research methodology through the literature review. In this study, first, the definition and creation process of big data were studied. Second, the significance and problems of applying big data in the transportation sector were studied. Finally, the current status of research in the transportation sector using big data was investigated, and the tasks to be improved in the process from collecting transportation big data to analysis were reviewed. Results: Big data means creating new value by fusing data collected from different purposes. In the case of using big data, the transportation sector can establish more accurate and detailed transportation policies in basic data investigation, identification of phenomena, and prediction. In order to expand the use of big data, it is important to consider who owns it, what it was collected for, what the format of the collected data is, and what should be done to use it. Conclusion: Big data is a derivative thing, but it is becoming important enough to determine the success or failure of a country depending on how it is used. However, problems such as data errors or invasion of privacy that may occur when using big data are expected. This is not just a problem in the transportation sector. When using big data, there are many problems to be solved, such as data ownership, Big Brother problems, and the implementation of smart mobility. If the advent of the big data era is taken for granted, the task from now on is how to solve these problems and share their values.
