Making it easy for transport stakeholders to share mobility data

Abstract

With the emergence of new mobility services, an increasing amount of data is being produced. However, while it is recognized that data sharing can open up new opportunities and lead to more efficient processes and new products, there is still a lot of reluctance to share data. The EU-funded MobiDataLab project works to remove these limitations and to foster the sharing of data amongst transport authorities, operators and other mobility stakeholders. According to the FAIR principles (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable), the MobiDataLab project provides a “transport cloud”, that is an infrastructure to build new solutions with mobility data and services. With a close contribution between a reference group, the project team and contributors of virtual and living labs, the project will identify current challenges and work with the relevant interest groups on solutions.
