The concept of a mobility data cloud: Design, implementation and trials

The mobility data cloud is an Internet based platform for the integration of mobility related data from different data providers. It offers a framework for the acquisition, aggregation, provisioning, and analysis of mobility relevant data originating from various sources, e.g. Charging stations, gas stations, position of vehicles, battery charge condition of electric vehicles, utilization of vehicles, and data regarding public transport. These various types of data should facilitate the collaborative shared utilization of mobility resources such as electric vehicles, charging stations, etc. This paper presents the design and implementation of such an Internet based mobility data cloud. In addition, the presented prototype is evaluated based on trials in a European city.
