Taking into account the objectives of the project, the following activities have been successfully performed in Year 1 (1st of December 2020 until 30th of November 2021):
• Identification of mobility data sources and data sharing framework for an open comprehensive mobility data catalogue (WP3)
• Design of Molière’s high-level technical architecture, including a sound governance mechanism based on blockchain (WP3)
• Five use cases have been defined by the partners of the consortium, which will be used to validate (in WP5) Molière’s technology (to be developed in WP4). The first use case will take place in Brussels whereas the rest in Barcelona and Catalonia
The project consists of 7 work packages, which have delivered the planned outcomes. Namely:
- Work Package 1 - Ethics requirements. Factual and the project consortium have fulfilled all ethic requirements as defined in the project deliverables D1.1 D1.2 D1.3 D1.4 and D1.5.
- Work Package 2 - Project Coordination & Management. Factual has undertaken the coordinating tasks for the first year of the project. Due to changes in the partnership of the project (SEAT and its two AE withdrawing from the consortium), several activities have suffered changes and have been readdressed. Factual has coordinated the entire process of the partner leaving as well as the search for other partners willing to enter the consortium and take over the activities.
- Work Package 3 - Platform Requirements & Design. The development of the activities in WP3 was led by Factual. Two main deliverables have been produced: D3.1 which serves as a baseline for the system design and components specification to develop the MDM; D3.2 which focuses on setting the high-level architecture of the outcome of the Molière project as well as the description of the components and system and their responsibilities.
Both milestones for this WP were achieved: MS2, organization of a Hackathon under the auspices of CARNET CIT UPC to generate a pool of ideas for Molière (see
https://moliere-project.eu/index.php/moliere-hackathon/)(öffnet in neuem Fenster); MS3, having MaaS platform and MDM ready for implementation
- Work Package 4 - System Development. The development of WP4 activities is led by Iomob. The main objectives of WP4 are to develop data and API abstraction layers for mobility operators, implement a blockchain-based platform, and deploy EGNSS-capable On-Board Units into a sharing fleet sourcing geo-location data to the MDM. Two main deliverables have been produced and submitted for WP4: D4.1 details Molière’s architecture and technical components. D4.2 underlines the importance of using satellite technology and geolocation in the mobility world.
The most relevant milestone of WP is MS4, having MaaS platform and MDM ready for testing, which has been accomplished.
- Work Package 5 - Demonstration. WP5’s main objectives are to ensure readiness of the hardware and software components for the demonstrations, ensure the execution of the planned demonstrations and define the KPIs for evaluation. The work package was led by the new partner, Keita, replacing SEAT. The WP analysed potential applications for Moliere, emphasising its transformative capabilities and addressing potential challenges during their implementation. This work package has one main deliverable, D5.1 – Evaluation of demonstrators, which includes the description and evaluation of the referenced use cases, and was delivered in M32.
- Work Package 6 - Business & Regulatory Aspects. The main objectives of this work package, led by Factual, are related to the identification of opportunity and market prospects of Molière, assessment of legal and regulatory aspects, privacy issues as well as identification of ethics and gender issues. The WP has 6 deliverables which have been duly submitted.
The most relevant milestone 6, indicating the project technology's readiness for market exploitation, was dependent on the completion of D6.2 which was officially achieved in M36.
- Work Package 7 - Outreach & Dissemination, led by CARNET. A sound communication plan has been delivered and related channels created and filled with timely content.The WP has 3 delieverables which have been submitted.
