description: This deliverable is a report discussing the results of Task 2.4, which is aimed at performing a 360-degree analysis and evaluation of the available solutions (e.g., frameworks, tools, environments,infrastructures, etc.) that could be leveraged in MobiDataLab to enable transport data sharing in theCloud. Such analysis takes into account the key features of existing approaches and provides asoutput an analysis of state-of-the-art solutions from different perspectives, encompassing bothtechnical and non-technical viewpoints. A SWOT analysis is conducted on the most promisingsolutions to highlight their strengths and weaknesses, as well as the opportunities and threats thatcould derive from their exploitation in MobiDataLab.Given the heterogeneity and peculiarities of mobility data, and the various constraints related to theirsafe and trusted sharing, MobiDataLab envisions the usage of an open federated cloud architecturewhere complex and often contrasting requirements can be enforced easily and practically. In principle, a federated cloud could support the sharing of arbitrary resources from arbitrary applicationdomains with arbitrary consumer groups across multiple administrative domains.This deliverable aims to identify the open frameworks and solutions that can provide effective andefficient ideas, solutions, approaches and services to MobiDataLab stakeholders and facilitate theircollaboration, including secure methods to selectively share and access the data subject to anyspecific combination of privacy/visibility rules and conditions. In preparing this report we establisheda fruitful collaboration and mutual fertilisation with other tasks belonging to WP2 (Open KnowledgeBase) and WP4 (Transport Cloud Prototype). In particular, T2.1 (Legal and RegulatoryRequirements) and T2.2 (Data Privacy Requirements) helped us to define a common ground on theavailable solutions able to match the national and European requirements in terms of the legal andprivacy framework. A similar interplay was achieved with T2.3 (Standard Requirements), which aimsat defining the requirements in terms of standards that could be supported by the Cloud environmentto the data federation.The deliverable is structured in three main parts, i.e., (1) the solutions for data sharing, including therelevant dimensions, European projects and initiatives, mobility data platforms and technologicalfederated cloud solutions, (2) the SWOT analysis, and finally (3) the solutions for the Transport Clouddata processors.The deliverable will serve as input for Task 4.1 Architecture/Design of the cloud solution starting atM6. The addition of a section on Transport Cloud data processors makes it an input also for othertasks of WP4 starting at M6, specifically: T4.2 Reference Data Catalogue; T4.3 Data AccessServices and Data Channels; T4.4 Data processors. This deliverable is also related to WP3 (Newdata sharing services and business models), and specifically to T3.2 (Data sharing markettechnological developments monitoring), where European projects and initiatives are consideredfrom the business and economic point of view.
