2. Background and Objectives
 Background
o BDE aims to create a foundational work for
Euroepan companies to build innovative Big Data
Solutiosn
o The BDE includes objectives focused on the
Transport Societal Challenge
 Objectives
o Provide input to the BDE platform design
o Present a high level and consistent view of the
Transport Data and Technology needs and
potential

3. Summary of Workshop
Session
 Three Transport dimensions discussed:
o Infrastructure
o Vehicle
o Users
 Types of data within each dimension were
discussed
 An analysis of the Volume, Velocity and
Variety of each type was done

4. Infrastructure
Data Types/Function Volume Velocity Variety
Dynamic Maps/Attributes + - +
Maintenance - - +
Operational + + +
Foresight ? ? ?

5. Vehicle
Data Types/Function Volume Velocity Variety
Location + - +
Driver Monitoring 0 0 +
Performance + + +
Telemetry + + -

6. Private Users
Data Types/Function Volume Velocity Variety
Events ? + +

Behaviours - + +
Personal Activity - + +

7. Conclusions
 Commonalities between data types and their
3V characterisitics do exists but need to be
better understood between domain experts
 High diversity in application of Big Data
technologies in transport
 A more complete understanding of data
challenges is hindering the identification of
real solutions

8. Open Issues and Challenges
 Building Big Data expertise in the domain
 Privacy is and will remain a significant issue
 Control and measurement of the quality of
data and therefore the knowledge derived
form it
 Lack of understanding between domains could
lead to rifts between domains
 Rifts would further compound the problem of
data silos and hinder interoperability between
big data solutions

9. Open Issues and Challenges
 Lack of Data Formats and Interoperability are
a barrier
 Data Loss from infrastructure, vehicles and
users that will grow in an IoT world
 Linking data across the domains
 Driving value from Transport data sources
 Simple, in situ and economical processing of
data
