Modern vehicles, trains, bikes, and scooters are increasingly internet-connected and intelligent. Even infrastructure like highways, bridges, and ferries are being endowed with sensors, telematics, and secure identities to generate and share data. In mobility ecosystems today, there is a dearth of interoperability, across both the vehicle and infrastructure layers, resulting in the natural formation of silos at each aggregation point. Creating standards that allow for such interoperability was the core focus of the Connected Mobility Data Marketplace (CMDM) Working Group (WG).
The CMDM WG released its first technical specification in Q1 2021 focused on V2V, V2X, and X2X use cases. Core to all of these use cases is the focus on enabling connected devices (like connected vehicles, or sensors in infrastructure) to authenticate each other’s identities, securely share data, and securely record transactions. The Standards define a robust framework for a system that provides the above functionalities, in support of the development of those use cases within the mobility ecosystem.
