Intelligent Transport Solutions for Smart Cities and Regions : Lessons Learned
and rapid technology transfer . A practical measure to achieve this in the oneTRANSPORT initiative was the creation of the Transport Data Initiative ( TDI 7 ). The TDI is a networking and knowledge sharing forum led by local authorities in the project . The main tasks of the TDI are to help other authorities to understand the data economy and realize the potential benefits of opening data in a controlled way . Authorities that take part in the TDI gain not just from their interactions with one another , but also from the input of multiple commercial and public entities willing to tackle transportation problems in a cooperative way with them . So far , the TDI has been instrumental in targeting the following issues :
� Common understanding of data economy and contracting schemes across authorities ,
� Existence of non-vendor-lock-in solutions to aggregate and publish data ,
�
�
Current data-driven solutions for the transport sector and how to integrate them locally Benefits of re-using a common data platform to integrate data from multiple sectors
