Periodic Reporting for period 2 - 5GMETA (Monetizing car & mobility data for new Entrants, Technologies and Actors)
Période du rapport: 2022-07-01 au 2024-02-29
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.

5GMETA has generated scientific and technological innovations based on open-source tools to drive the development of the next generation of Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility (CCAM) applications. More specifically, 5GMETA has released an integrated open-source platform which bundles the required tools together to facilitate user adoption. 5GMETA is aligned with European Union’s open science policy and has made open the following project results:
- Open-source 5GMETA Platform: accessible from a public repository (https://github.com/5gmeta(s’ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre)) with an open-source license (European Union Public License v. 1.2).
- Open datasets: datasets generated by the project use cases are available in a public Zenodo repository (https://zenodo.org/communities/5gmeta/(s’ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre)) with a license that allows re-distribution and re-use (Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International).
- Open-access publications: all the accepted peer-reviewed scientific articles of the project are available online for free, either with “green” open access (self-archiving) or “gold” open access.
- Public deliverables: 27 deliverables will be publicly available in CORDIS. This means that 79% of the project deliverables will be public.
- Public dissemination webinars: the recordings of the webinars are available on ERTICO’s YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@ertico-itseurope(s’ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre)).
All these results will remain open and publicly available beyond the end of the project, ensuring that the knowledge, technology and data generated during the project will be available to the community.

Using 5G as a catalyst to create economic opportunities for new and innovative market actors is the core mission of 5GMETA. Thus, the innovation effort has been dedicated to progressing the state of the art on specific key aspects to give actual substance to this ambition. More specifically, 5GMETA has focused on progressing the state of the art on (1) CAM business models, (2) technology to support new business models, and (3) standardisation, regulation and policy. Therefore, new CAM business models have been identified that could be supported by the data platform developed in the framework of the project. In addition, 5GMETA has identified standardisation gaps, and has produced recommendations and lessons learnt for CAM stakeholders.
Regarding the potential impacts of the project, 5GMETA has contributed to the path toward fully autonomous vehicles, developing a car data platform to feed future CAM services and applications exploiting data. Automated and progressively autonomous driving technologies, and smart mobility services are expected to eliminate the disutility of travel time, energy consumption, decouple parking locations from travellers’ origins and destinations, facilitate vehicle sharing and ride sharing, and break down the boundaries between public and private transportation.
In terms of sustainability, 5GMETA has approached energy efficiency from two angles. First, from developing a scalable and efficient architecture using edge/cloud systems. Second, a more efficient and automated transport will lead in the long term to improvements in energy consumption and reduction of emissions. According to the OECD, 380 megatons of CO2 emissions generated in transport and logistics will be eliminated by autonomous cars.
