Research Project

TreuMoDa – Treuhandstelle für Mobilitätsdaten (Mobility Data Trust Center)

Overview

TreuMoDa (TMD) is conceived as an independent, non-profit interface to enable mobility-data from various sources to be made available and utilized by science, industry and society under transparent criteria and in full compliance with data-protection regulations. It is not a data-marketplace per se, but focuses on the instruments for clarifying and fulfilling legal and technical requirements. The aim of the project is to develop a concept for a TMD that is ready for application and to test it in exemplar aspects. The activity profile of the TMD will be modular, allowing simplified and broad usage of the concept depending on concrete requirements, and enabling adaptation to national and international regulatory initiatives still under discussion.

Our Goal

Enable the merging and broad use of distributed mobility-data inventories for science, industry and society. Provide legal and technical frameworks (“instruments”) rather than just being a marketplace. Design the TMD in a modular way so that it can flexibly adapt to varying requirements and evolving regulatory landscapes.
