Towards a common Europeanmobility data space (EMDS)

1

European Commission
Data Spaces Symposium, March 12-14, 2024

At the crossroads of two EU strategies
Data Strategy

Establish a single market for data.
Enable data sharing and establish fairand clear rules on data use and access.

Sustainable and Smart
Mobility Strategy (SSMS)

Ensure that the EU transport sector is fit
for a clean, digital and modern economy.

→ A common European mobility data space (EMDS)
facilitating access, pooling and sharing of data fromexisting and future transport and mobility data sources.

Challenges of mobility data sharing

Reluctance to share data:
security, competition
concerns, lack of trust

Heterogeneity and diversityof stakeholders, transportmodes, data types, etc.

Fragmentation, lack ofaccess and interoperability

EMDS Communication (adopted Nov 29 , 2023)• It outlines the Commission’s proposed way forward for the creation of
a common EMDS, including its objectives, main components,supporting measures and milestones.
• The Commission is seeking to promote the exchange of information on
this topic, as well as collaboration more generally.
• It invites all relevant actors to take note of the measures set out in thiscommunication.

Use cases and their added value for themobility transition ahead
Increasing the efficiency of the logistics sector at EU level

Implementation of urban vehicle access regulations (UVARs)

Boosting cross-border passenger & freight multimodality

Facilitating access to electromobility data at EU level

6 months PoC- published Feb 13, 2024

Kick-off Jan 2024- open Feb 29-May 29, 2024

→Focus on how personal data
are managed in the EMDS
framework, through amultimodal use-case→Support the establishment of alasting collaboration structure→Support the deployment ofcross-border use cases indifferent areas

8→Looking for local authorities
and transport operators totest the PoC• Building on the Data Spaces Support Centre and SIMPL

deployEMDS• 45 European partners deploy a functioning
technical infrastructure for the EMDS
• across 9 European cities/regions• addressing use-cases that focus on traffic andurban mobility indicators• SMEs, start-ups and industry are welcome to join
the “Innovation and Scaling group” for collaborationand knowledge sharing• Public authorities can get involved in workshopswith NAPCORE or the Network of Cities managedby POLIS• do you want to get involved? contact the project
coordinator kirstein@acatech.de9

Mobility and Logistics Data EDIC
European Digital Infrastructure Consortium (EDIC): new mechanism to implement MultiCountry Projects (MCP) created by the Digital Decade Policy Programme 2030
Ongoing preparation of a possible Mobility and Logistics Data EDIC to ensure long termsustainability of common data infrastructure and promote large scale adoption. Proposed scope:• Allowing the coordination and alignment on common standards among its members.
• support the implementation of cross-border use cases under a coherent approach

Preparation of an application by the Netherlands (host), Austria, Germany, Finland, Franceand Spain, closely followed by the EC. Other Member States and organisations showed interest.
Application planned in May 2024.

Next steps• Follow-up on the EMDS Communication• EMDS technical assistance study preliminary deliverables• deployEMDS preliminary deliverables• Define terms of reference for the deployment action of the interlinking layer(Q3-Q4 2024)
