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
