Deadline: 24-Jan-23
The European Commission (EC) has announced the proposals for Data Space for Mobility.
Scope
The awarded project(s) will make information available and accessible in a machine-readable format in order to allow building a large amount of accurate and reliable data that could be used inter alia for artificial intelligence. It will have the following tasks and characteristics:
- support sustainable urban mobility planning and management by making available and accessible in machine-readable format data for EU sustainable urban mobility indicators, such as greenhouse gas emissions, congestion, commuting travel times and modal split in line with the EU definition and methodology.
- make traffic and travel information at urban level available and accessible in a machine-readable format in line with Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) Directive 2010/40/EU and in particular the Delegated Regulation 2015/962 on real-time traffic information services and delegated regulation 2017/1926 on multimodal travel information services.c
Objectives
- The objective is to contribute to the further development of the common European mobility data space announced in the Data Strategy and the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy, built and operated in full compliance with existing EU legislation in the mobility and transport sectors.
- The specific aim is to support the creation of a technical infrastructure combined with governance mechanisms that will facilitate easy, cross-border access to key data resources in this area. This will be based on and in full alignment with existing and upcoming mobility and transport initiatives (some of which are regulated) that organise the sharing of data for both passengers and freight in the domains and become an integral part of the emerging European data and cloud services infrastructure.
Funding Information
Amount: EUR 8.000.000,00
Outcomes and Deliverables
- Digitized processes allowing the public sector and businesses to access a larger pool of high quality data on urban mobility.
- Cities and public transport authorities will make use of compiled data to identify deficiency areas where additional action may be required, to track progress towards set policy goals, and to evaluate the effectiveness and overall impact of urban mobility policies.
- Industry, in particular SMEs, will benefit from larger sets of data to broaden their offers in terms of products and services.
- Improved monitoring/measuring the change of emissions eventually leading to increased environmental performance.
Eligibility Criteria
In order to be eligible, the applicants (beneficiaries and affiliated entities) must:
- be legal entities (public or private bodies)
- be established in one of the eligible countries, i.e.:
- EU Member States (including overseas countries and territories (OCTs))
- non-EU countries
- listed EEA countries and countries associated to the Digital Europe Programme or countries which are in ongoing negotiations for an association agreement and where the agreement enters into force before grant signature
