Why

Digitalisation provides a window of opportunities for seamless data flow management in logistics and smart mobility applications in transport. Both public and private sector parties can benefit.

However, major bottlenecks have prevented this from materializing. The basic bottlenecks are lack of interconnectivity - due to non-coherence of standards and silo use of standards per transport domain -, a fragmented legal base and a vulnerable level playing field. Big companies, including platforms, increasingly constitute a threat for SME’s to access to open source data.
