Section outline
-
The proposals should cover all following aspects:
- Provide a comparative analysis of the transportation data regulation across all transport modes in the EU;;
- Identify transport flows for which digitalised processes and transport data exchange will make most impact;
- Identify functional requirements and possible frameworks for data sharing across the transport system and with the public sector where appropriate – in particular through a federation of various cloud solutions (a Transport Cloud), taking into account the FAIR data principles as well as the private data sharing principles[1], including B2G and B2B data sharing;
- Building on existing standards / specifications that have been adopted by the EU or nationally e.g. DCAT-AP, propose standards for transport data sharing (including formatting, metadata descriptions, etc.) that would strike an appropriate balance between sharing data and proprietary rights. Proposals should clearly define the field of data, for which a standard shall be considered;
- Analyse the relationships between private and public stakeholders (on local, regional, national, EU and global level) and their differing approaches to data sharing principles;
- Examine the role of data sharing culture in the future development of any data sharing cloud based solutions, analyse methods that foster trust in transport data networks;
- Identify main privacy and security issues associated to data sharing, including preventing data misuse;
- Identify appropriate governance structures and/or processes for the establishment of a possible Transport Cloud building as much as possible on the existing frameworks and initiatives.
Consider commercial and competitive risks of data sharing on an international scale as well as the potential for the EU to set global standards for data sharing;
Proposals should identify and build on the most relevant previously funded EU and national projects and reports such as Transforming Transport[1], BigDataEurope[2], NOESIS[3], LeMO[4], OPTIMUM[5], SELIS[6], AEOLIX[7], oneTRANSPORT[8], EfficienSea 2[9] etc. A structured method of building up on the achievements of the selected projects should be proposed. Proposals should include an effective mix of private and public actors both from the transport and transport research domains.
