Cars capture and generate huge volumes of data in real-time about the driving dynamics, the environment, and the driver and passengers’ activities. With the greater proliferation of connected and automated mobility applications, the value of data from vehicles is getting strategic not just for the automotive industry but in a wider scope, and not limited to the onboard systems and services.
5GMETA's open platform aims to leverage car-captured data to stimulate, facilitate and feed innovative products and services. The result of 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 coming from relevant geographical regions will catalyse the generation of new opportunities and business models coming from valuable services, where data liability and billing will rely on data flow subscription and volume consumption.
5GMETA expands 5G network functions to enable data monetization with a secure and private pipeline that manages data computing, dataflows according to service subscriptions and geographic queries. Therefore, 5GMETA’s objective is to create a flexible telematics platform for pipelining car-captured and generated data to traditional and new automotive industry players while ensuring data privacy, security, interoperability and ownership. 5GMETA flatten barriers to create innovative data-based CAM services and applications producing new revenue flows, reducing costs and enforcing safety for application users. 5GMETA has a business-driven design with APIs and architecture for fast prototyping, training, and operation of new services. 5GMETA intends to define a data monetization model compatible with OEMs, TIER1, SMEs and high-tech start-ups, and data licenses to keep users’ control and limit commercial and geographical use. 5GMETA has realised representative demonstrators in terms of data heterogeneity, value creation and business models to ensure that third parties and new players’ interests and requirements are considered beyond traditional automotive industries. 5GMETA has focused on technology transfer activities, performing different dissemination, tutorials and hackathons to capture the attention of SMEs and high-tech start-ups with a platform leading to new opportunities in an incoming profitable market.
