MR AU NOK-HIN (in Chinese): President, it has been reported that early this year, the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation ("HKSTPC") installed in the Hong Kong Science Park ("HKSP") a total of eight multifunctional smart lampposts ("smart lampposts") developed by five partner companies. Each smart lamppost is equipped with a number of functions, such as surveillance by closed-circuit cameras, provision of light-emitting diode lighting, monitoring of pedestrian and traffic flow, provision of quick charging for electric vehicles and collection of meteorological data. The various real-time data collected by the smart lampposts will be shared with the Data Studio of HKSP. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council: LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ― 25 April 2018 8763 (1) whether it knows the names of the aforesaid five partner companies, and set out in the table below the details of the collection of data by such companies through the smart lampposts; Technology/ Company Type or system used for Frequency of Usage of data name field of data collecting data data updating and data format (2) whether it knows if those partner companies and HKSTPC will provide the data collected from the smart lampposts to the Government for its use, including allowing the Government to publish such data through the data.gov.hk portal; (3) whether it knows if those partner companies and HKSTPC will, through the smart lampposts, collect data on identifying particulars of an individual; if they will, (i) how they ensure that the collection, use and processing of the relevant data are in compliance with the data protection principles stipulated in the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486); (ii) whether they will review the relevant arrangements on a regular basis; if so, of the details; if not, the reasons for that; and (iii) whether they will provide such data to the Government for its use (including transferral of the data to a third party); if so, how they ensure that the data subjects are informed of the relevant arrangements; and (4) as the Chief Executive indicated in the Policy Address delivered in October last year that the Government would push ahead with three infrastructure projects to develop Hong Kong into a smart city, including (i) providing an "eID" for all Hong Kong residents, (ii) launching a pilot "Multifunctional Smart Lampposts" scheme at selected urban locations, and (iii) reforming the development technology of e-Government systems and building a big data 8764 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ― 25 April 2018 analytics platform, whether the Government will draw reference from the relevant experience of HKSTPC when pushing ahead with those projects; if so, of the details; if not, the reasons for that? SECRETARY FOR INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY (in Chinese): President, to complement the development of smart city, and to promote the research and development, testing, validation and adoption of various smart city solutions, the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation has installed eight multi-functional smart lampposts using the technologies from five companies in the Hong Kong Science Park ("Science Park") for collecting real-time data on road conditions and weather etc. Some of the smart lampposts are even equipped with electric vehicle charging function. Our reply to the various parts of the question is as follows: (1) The names of the five companies mentioned above and the data collected through the smart lampposts are at Annex. (2) The data collected by the smart lampposts would be processed and consolidated collectively in the Data Studio of the Science Park for testing purposes and will not be published at the data.gov.hk portal. (3) At present, the smart lampposts installed in the Science Park mainly collect data on the external environment, such as weather, air quality and traffic condition. The images by the smart lampposts are used for real-time viewing of road conditions or verification of the operation of the concerned technologies. Data relating to the identification of personal identity will not be collected and relevant images will not be stored. (4) In March this year, the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer ("OGCIO") briefed the Panel on Information Technology and Broadcasting of the Legislative Council the proposals regarding three key infrastructure projects for smart city development, which include the "eID" and the "Multi-functional Smart Lampposts Pilot Scheme". On the "eID" project, OGCIO also issued a Request for Information to invite submissions from relevant sectors and professional bodies on the technical solutions and various potential e-service applications of eID. Subject to the Finance Committee's funding approval, OGCIO plans to invite tenders in the second half LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ― 25 April 2018 8765 of 2018, with the target to launch the new system for operation by mid-2020.
