Summary
To design and implement the umbrella framework of the common EMDS, the Commission is planning to launch or has already launched the following actions with a total funding of EUR 11.4 million:
Phase 1
- DIGITAL CSA (12 months – from Oct 2022 to Sept 2023): EUR 1 million
Milestones:
- mapping of existing mobility and transport data ecosystems
- the first identification of recommended common building blocks and standards
- CEF technical assistance study (12 months – from Q1 2024 to Q1 2025): EUR 500 000
Milestones:
- definition of the governance aspects of the EMDS framework
- definition of the interlinking layer
Phase 2
- DIGITAL deployment action (36 months – from Nov 2023 to Nov 2026): EUR 8 million
Milestones:
- data-space pilots focused on traffic and urban mobility indicators
- CEF deployment (36 months – from Q1 2025 to Q1 2028): EUR 1.9 million
Milestones:
- deployment of the interlinking layer
- further identification of recommended common building blocks and standards
5. Conclusion and next steps
The feedback in response to the call for evidence and the various stakeholder consultations confirms not only the needs and the large potential benefits, but also the challenges of establishing a common EMDS. The development of the EMDS therefore needs to follow a sequenced pathway that first identifies the overarching challenges outlined in this communication and then prepares appropriate measures to implement it. The heterogeneity and diversity of data types and stakeholders, and the fragmentation of existing databases and data-sharing standards currently make any interoperability exercise very difficult. The existing ecosystems are also very different in that some of them create data while others only exchange data; and that some are open to all while most are available only for specific actors and some concern confidential data and access is restricted. Digitisation efforts in some sectors are still ongoing and not all relevant data have been digitised.
Building the EMDS will be a dynamic process. Its elements will be identified, fine-tuned and further developed consistently aligned with other sectoral data spaces and supporting initiatives (e.g. the DSSC). A certain level of flexibility to add new initiatives and refine others will be needed. The feedback and support of all stakeholders in the EU mobility and transport sector will be fundamental to achieving the goals of the EMDS. The EMDS should be built primarily for and by the mobility and transport stakeholders, responding to their needs and leveraging the existing and emerging initiatives across the EU.
The common EMDS will help to accelerate the digital and green transformation of the EU’s mobility and transport sector, strengthening its performance and efficiency and contributing to safety, climate neutrality, sustainability, resilience and agility. It will reduce the current fragmentation in the sector and will improve access to mobility and transport data by public and private actors in a seamless, non-discriminatory, trusted and harmonised way. It will also provide cross-sectoral benefits via its synergies with other sectoral data spaces.
A functioning EMDS will bring significant advantages for Member States, all relevant public authorities, market actors and the general public. Enabling access to and sharing of relevant mobility and transport data can support the making of transport policy and increase cross-border connectivity, thus contributing to economic growth. Simplified access to comprehensive data facilitates informed decisions on infrastructure and transportation planning, thus resulting in more efficient systems. Market actors can seize new business opportunities through data-sharing, forming partnerships and integrating services for improved coordination. Real-time information optimises private and public actors’ operations, thus ensuring compliance with regulations. Ultimately, passengers, commuters and travellers benefit from an improved and more inclusive travel experience with efficient transportation systems, real-time updates, enhanced safety, sustainability and accessibility through system integration and multimodality.

Although operating autonomously and with possible different internal architectures, the goal is to jointly operate as a single and harmonised ecosystem towards participants.’; Preparatory Actions for the Data Space for Mobility, Deliverable D3.1 (Glossary), 2023 p, 13.
9 ‘Data space building block: A basic unit or component that can be implemented or a capability that can be deployed and combined with other building blocks to achieve the functionality of a data space. Data space building blocks can be divided into organisational and business building blocks and technical building blocks.’; https://dssc.eu/space/Glossary/176554169/10.+DSSC-specific+terms
10 ‘It is important also to recognise the trust-bringing role of third parties such as data intermediaries, such as those as regulated by the DGA, which can act as neutral facilitators and enablers of data reuse in a common European data space. These actors mediate between the suppliers of data, the data subjects, the data storage providers, and the data utilisers. Depending on specific needs, they can serve as matchmakers between supply and demand for data, offer services and relevant technologies to help share data more easily, and provide a guarantee that data will be handled in a trustworthy and legally compliant manner.’;
