#  1\. Introduction

##  1.1 Scope

The scope of this document is to produce a Data Management Plan (DMP) that
describes the types of data that will be generated or gathered during the
project, the standards that will be used, the ways how data will be exploited
and shared for verification or reuse, and how data will be preserved.

This document aims to provide a consolidated plan for INTERMODEL EU partners
in the data management plan policy that the project will follow. The document
is the first version of the DMP, delivered in M6 of the project. The DMP will
be updated during the lifecycle of the project.

##  1.2 Audience

The intended audience of this document is the INTERMODEL Consortium.

##  1.3 Definitions / Glossary

The main terms used in this deliverable are described as follows:

**Data Management Plan (DMP)** – document that describes the data management
life cycle for all datasets to be collected, processed or generated by a
research project. It covers: the handling of research data during and after
the project; what data will be collected, processed or generated; what
methodology and standards will be applied; whether data will be shared/made
open access and how; and how data will be curated and preserved.

**FAIR data** – set of guiding principles to make data Findable, Accessible,
Interoperable and Re‐usable.

##  1.4 Abbreviations

The abbreviations used in the present document are:

**BEP** : BIM Execution Plan

**BIM** : Building Information Modelling

**DMP** : Data Management Plan

**EU** : European Union

**FAIR** : Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re‐usable

**PDF** : Portable Document Format

**WP** : Work Package

#  2\. Responsibilities

Mikel Borras (IDP) will be the person in charge of the data during the
project. He has the responsibility to ensure that data shared through the
INTERMODEL EU website are easily available, and also that backups are
performed and that proprietary data are secured.

IDP will ensure data integrity and compatibility for its use during the
project lifetime by the different partners composing the Consortium.

Validation and registration of data is responsibility of the partner who
generates the data in the WP.

#  3\. Data summary

Data will be collected from the intermodal terminals in order to properly
develop a BIM virtual model of them and to be able to simulate the processes
within through simulation software. This data needed for the simulations will
include information regarding aspects such as 3D volumes’ dimensions and
geo‐location, modal laying out, waiting time, terminal arrival behaviours,
number of trucks, terminal’s machinery data, etc.

In addition, regarding the modelling, data needed will consist basically in
the design/layout of the terminal, number of cranes, CAPEX, OPEX, etc. All
this data will be provided by the Terminal Operators/Owners (CSI, ASPS) and
managed mainly by IDP, MAC, VTT and VIASYS. All these partners will have open
access to models and their underlying data.

Different datasets will be created in order to define the models, and will be
useful for the Consortium to be able to validate the results obtained through
the simulations.

##  3.1 Data set description

All consortium partners have identified the datasets that will be required for
the development of the project. The list is provided below, while the nature
and details for each dataset are given in the subsequent section 10.

This list has been defined according to the needs of the project and could be
adapted in the next version of the DMP taking into consideration the project
progress.

#  4\. General principles

There are no requirements expected by the funding or partners regarding data
linked to the project, and there are no additional requirements associated
with the data being submitted.

The INTERMODEL EU project _only needs the collection of**non‐sensitive data**
_ , which means that **_no personal identifiers will be recorded by the
researches in any form_ ** .

#  5\. FAIR data

##  5.1 Making data findable, including provision for metadata

The BIM models and simulations will contain all the necessary data to achieve
the goals mentioned previously and already have defined metadata. These models
and simulations will be shared within the Consortium and the software programs
to use and the necessary information to manage them will be specified in the
BIM Execution Plan (BEP).

##  5.2 Making data openly accessible

Models and simulations, and therefore, the data in them, will be shared openly
among the consortium members through INTERMODEL EU website intranet. The use
of them or their data consultation will be possible through the right BIM
software programs (defined in the BEP) and other software programs for
simulation and traffic studies (e.g. Aimsum, etc.). Also, during the project,
the interoperability and data exchange and the integrating ICT environment
prototype will be defined, but they will be confidential and only accessible
for the members of the Consortium and the Commission Services.

##  5.3 Making data interoperable

BIM methodology is based on the interoperability between several software
programs. The outcome models follow BIM open standards and vocabularies
specified in the BEP in accordance with the participant members. This BEP
document, just like this DMP, is not a once‐time document but a live on so it
will go through changes as the project is developed.

##  5.4 Increase data re‐use

The generated models will remain accessible by Consortium members throughout
all the project duration. The re‐use of the models and the data within them
after the project shall be defined in the exploitation agreement (Deliverables
9.08, 9.09, 9.10 and 9.11 in months 18, 24, 30, 36 respectively).

#  6\. Allocation of resources

Making models and their underlying data FAIR will not take any more time or at
least, any more calculable time, used to generate the models and carry on the
different simulations, using the information in the BIM format/standards
models. The staff personnel hours dedicated to this will be counted within the
Person Month dedications to the respective tasks.

The ultimate person responsible for data management in the INTERMODEL EU
project will be Mikel Borràs, IDP Financial & Data Manager, as long as the
project lasts. Once the project ends, this issue shall be discussed within the
exploitation agreement.

#  7\. Data security

Models and their underlying data will be stored in the INTERMODEL EU website’s
intranet, with access restricted to all Consortium partners in order to work
on them through modelling, data introduction, data collection, simulation,
etc. Each partner is responsible for those recovery files that may be stored
in each partner’s facilities, databases, servers, etc.

#  8\. Ethical aspects

There are no ethical aspects that can have an impact on data sharing and no
human data is included in any model/simulation, according to ethics
deliverables D10.1 and D10.2.

#  9\. Other issues

Not applicable.

#  11\. Conclusions

This Data Management Plan (DMP) provides an overview of the data that the
INTERMODEL EU project will produce together with related challenges and
constraints that need to be taken into consideration.

The analysis contained in this report allows anticipating the procedures and
infrastructures to be implemented within the project to efficiently manage the
data it will produce.

Some of the partners will be owners or/and producers of data, which implies
specific responsibilities, described in this report.
