Podsumowanie kontekstu i ogólnych celów projektu

With the growing ability of Consumer Products (CP, such as cars, smart devices, etc.) to generate, gather and share data with third parties among different data-sharing platforms, there will be a general need for flexible and easily manageable procedures to handle data subject’s consent and legal rules, to achieve effective and traceable contracting. The complexities of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), for example, possess some challenges and require complex mechanisms to obtain, record and manage consent. Also, data subjects are afraid about improper use of their data. The combination of understanding and relating to the value proposition, consumer trust, and complex consent processes, results in a low opt-in rate for connected product data exchange (e.g. data from cars) and prevents the creation of innovative services (e.g. connected vehicle insurance programs, or smart city solutions).
In contrast to today's fragmented data sharing landscape, which is characterised by non-heterogeneous technical designs and proprietary implementations and by this means is hindering the use and integration of data from various platforms due to missing solutions for effective consent/contracting and data use traceability etc., the smashHit project focuses on user-oriented solutions that make data marketplaces more attractive and trustful for its key stakeholders. Therefore, smashHit had to overcome several obstacles by establishing an inter-data-platform solution enabling simplified multi-platform consent/contract processes for exchanging data also ensuring a trustful data use traceability. To address these key challenges, smashHit needed to achieve the following main objectives:
• Improve citizens trust by means of tracing the use of data over diverse platforms
• Improve OEM & data customer’s trust by means of fingerprinted data to ensure traceability/unchangeability along value chain and data quality, as well as consent tracing -> notification of all involved contractors in case of broken consent chain
• Simplify consent process through authentication of the individual (certification of consent) and single point of consent (management and distribution of consent)
• Support in consent/contract generation by supporting the digital creation of contract texts, and taking relevant legislations/legal rules into account

Prace wykonane od początku projektu do końca okresu sprawozdawczego oraz najważniejsze dotychczasowe rezultaty

In the final 18 months of the project, the following work in particular was carried out to achieve the main technical objectives:
• Scheduling of a final implementation plan for the software components of each smashHit platform module. This final implementation plan illustrated the final definition of system functionalities to be specified/developed for the implementation of the full prototype, enabling to test critical system functionalities and paths
• Elaboration and publication of the final Methodology material that serves the different stakeholders of the smashHit value chain as basic guidelines for participating in the overall smashHit workflow
• Detailed specification and development of full prototypes of the smashHit framework modules
• Final Specification and implementation of the full prototypes of the insurance and smart city business case reference services using the smashHit framework solutions
• Extensive integration and iterative testing activities of critical system functionalities for the early and full prototypes of the smashHit Framework modules, as well as BC services with the smashHit framework
• Continuation of the project’s communication strategy with an updated set of material (website, leaflet etc.) and ongoing social media activities
• Dissemination of the project ideas and results, e.g. recent scientific publications and organisation of the final smashHit event in scope of EBDVF2022
• Elaboration of a final exploitation plan, including the definition of exploitable results and identification of possible exploitation strategies (including Business Plan of LN)

Innowacyjność oraz oczekiwany potencjalny wpływ (w tym dotychczasowe znaczenie społeczno-gospodarcze i szersze implikacje społeczne projektu)

smashHit directly contributes to the impacts set in the work programme under the challenge ICT-13-2018-2019: Supporting the emergence of data markets and the data economy as it intends to build and set up for use on the market a framework, including the below mentioned key innovations. The project concept is designed to provide benefits for industrial partners (data providers and industrial users, as well as service providers) on both short and long term. On short term, the industrial partners will receive an innovative Platform to allow for effective integration of closed data streaming from the partners’ platforms and for building services based on such integrated data. The using of the smashHit framework will allow the offering of integrated data to a high number of service providers, including SMEs (e.g. project partner AM); on the long term, the smashHit framework will be open for integration of data from other closed platforms including other manufacturers of mass-CP in the same sector (automotive and smart city) or different sectors, opening new business possibilities among manufacturers from various sectors and data and service providers.
The project's key innovations are:
(i) smashHit Platform: provides basic functionalities for the user management of semantic models for consent and legal rights and offers context sensitive support
(ii) Consent Certification Service: provides functionalities for the certification of consent
(iii) Automatic Contracting Tool: provides automatic GDPR compliant consent document generation, consent compliance verification and consent traceability
(iv) Data Use Traceability/Fingerprinting: allows the tracing of data usage and the authenticity verification of leaked (and possibly modified) data as well as the possible point of data leakage
(v) Security and Privacy Mechanisms/Metrics: assures security and privacy within the smashHit Framework
(vi) BC1: This service is focused on the use of connected car data in the insurance sector, aiming for a simpler and automated consent process and a process where the consumer is in full control of their consent
(vii) BC2: The aim of this Business Case is to develop new and improve existing services with the secure and consented data-sharing in the Smart City context, covering multiple use cases

European Added Value: By solving the critical problems related to integration of data streams from various personal and industrial platforms, the project will provide new opportunities for cross-sectorial cooperation among the CP manufacturers and other data brokers and providers. smashHit is one of the first attempts to allow for cooperation among data providers from very different sectors, opening new business models for both data and service providers. The big advantage of the proposed solution is that it allows for various forms of cooperation among data providers including CP manufacturers from same or different sectors (where there is no direct competition on selling products), i.e. offering win-win situation for all stakeholders: data providers including CP vendors, service providers, users of CP and owners of data (especially personal data owners). smashHit is the first attempt to allow for effective cooperation on data integration between CP (vehicle) vendors (VW), data broker (LN), logistics data providers (AM), and smart city data and service providers (FVH).
