MODI(G)●●●●

Proposed “federal mobility data infrastructure”
Comment phase ended May 2022, still no reportavailable.
Top level goal “Data for an efficient mobility system”
Operations run by new federal enterprise associatedwith swisstopo, financed for 10 years by taxes, thenfee-based.

MODI●NADIM– Mobility data collection and distribution.
– No obligation of private enterprises to supply data.
– Nominally open data.
– Geolocation based on Verkehrsnetz Schweiz.

●Verkehrsnetz Schweiz– In development since early 2019.
– Functional OSM replacement.
– Use likely to be mandated for government bodies, required forsubmitting data to NADIM.

MODI●Below many layers of euphemisms it is an– Anti-Apple & google– And very much anti-OpenStreetMap

regulation that will establish a de facto
government mobility / geo data and services
monopoly.
●Time frame for regulation: final version likely
end 2023, in force 2024.
