MobiDataLab is the EU-funded lab for prototyping new mobility data sharing solutions.
Our aim is to foster data sharing in the transport sector, providing mobility organising
authorities with recommendations on how to improve the value of their data,
contributing to the development of open tools in the cloud, and organising hackathons
aiming to find innovative solutions to concrete mobility problems.
Started in 2021, the project investigated mobility data and services and did grown an
open knowledge base about mobility data as one of the four main pillars of the project.
With the realization of tools and the combination of data and services in the Transport Cloud,
which is the second pillar of the project, a representative set of technical
"mobility data sharing enablers" has been grown.
In the second half of the project, these assets are being provided to the public.
The Virtual and Living Labs will host environments for mobility data stakeholders
to explore the state of the art for data, services and their interaction to solve
mobility data challenges. All aligned with the FAIR statement - making data and services
findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable.
The challenges are mainly based on a broad set of use-cases, defined by the core project group,
the reference group and external stakeholders. These challenges are the core of the Livind and
Virtual Labs, where participants building solutions for the given challenges and exploring new
opportunities with the shared mobility data and services.
With the feedback of the labs, our partners, the reference group and external stakeholders
- mobility data providers from public and private sector, municipalities,
governmental institutions, start-up communities and stakeholders from research and industry,
the project will make challenges transparent and remove barriers for data sharing.
Since the project started in February 2021, we will present our achievements
provide an outlook on the last mile of the project, where we are bringing the
tools on the road.
