Event Description

Initial situation & problem definition

Demand for mobility is growing steadily, while infrastructure expansion is limited. High-quality, accessible, and connectable mobility data is crucial for making more efficient use of existing passenger and freight transport capacities. Equally important is reliable data from related areas that provides information about necessary infrastructure and energy supply.
Today, however, this data is often fragmented, difficult to access, and not harmonized—which slows down innovation. In addition, sharing approaches in the mobility sector (car sharing, bike sharing, ride sharing, on-demand buses, peer-to-peer sharing) have great potential, but face barriers such as lack of trust, low convenience, lack of privacy, or unclear business models.

Potential for data-driven mobility and sharing solutions

The authorities are in the process of providing a national mobility data infrastructure (MODI). It is a national, neutral, and open platform. It is currently unclear how this “marketplace” will be able to provide standardized data, combine it, and make it usable for innovative services. The remuneration for data providers is also unclear. 

The question is whether blockchain and tokenization are capable of ensuring transparency and traceability in data exchange. What role could smart contracts play in automated billing, insurance, or access to data? Open questions include the control of access rights and ensuring data sovereignty, incentive systems that motivate private actors to feed in data, and trust anchors for cities and regions as partners in “sharing city” models.

Finally, it is a matter of identifying specific areas of application (use cases) in order to test the feasibility of this data-sharing vision between public and private institutions on a pilot basis. Areas of application could include multimodal travel planning and ticketing without intermediaries. Or traffic flow optimization and data-based control, logistics solutions and fleet management, peer-to-peer sharing with automated billing, or sustainability certification and CO₂ tracking in the energy sector.
