One subset of the general question of the relationship between privacy and willingness to share data in ITS and LBS technologies is that of gender influences.

Next, an analysis of the willingness of persons to share identification and position information in the CMAP household travel survey is undertaken in order to determine if there are gender influences in willingness to share the types of information that may affect the level and usefulness of ITS and LBS.

The level of trust that an individual has about an information-sharing situation is also an important consideration.

The results indicated that while households that made a greater number of trips and with more working members were more likely to agree to participate in the GPS survey, english-speaking, higher-income households with children less than 16 years of age tended to have a weaker propensity to take part in the GPS survey.
