With data becoming an even more valuable and strategic asset in many domains, innovations that can leverage data to improve the deployment of applications are crucial. 5GMETA is one such project that intends to do just that for the automotive industry. This EU funded project, coordinated by Vicomtech will expand 5G network functions to provide the data for innovative services and successfully assist the deployment of connected and automated mobility applications.
Following its launch, 5GMETA begins work on creating a flexible telematics platform for pipelining car-captured and generated data to both traditional and new automotive industry players whilst ensuring key elements such as data privacy, security, interoperability and ownership are firmly in place. This open platform will consequently stimulate, facilitate and feed innovative products and services for the growing autonomous mobility industry.
“5GMETA will empower the automotive ecosystem from industry players to new entrants, such as SMEs and high-tech start-ups granting access to interoperable car-captured data according to data licenses. The access to data from relevant geographical regions will spark the generation of new opportunities and business models in valuable services, where data liability and billing will rely on an accountability dashboard of data flow subscription and volume consumption” said Oihana Otaegui from Vicomtech, coordinator of the project.
“With 5GMETA, ERTICO goes one step further in deploying its 2030 roadmap”, said ERTICO’s I&D Director Johanna Tzanidaki. “Our goal is in fact to increase the availability of connected and automated mobility applications and the value of vehicle data to benefit a wider scope” she added.
5GMETA has a consortium of 11 partners from four different countries, duration of three years and a total EU financial contribution of € 4,667,765. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No.957360.
