Mobility Data Specification (MDS) is a data standard designed to regulate the right of way and facilitate communication between local governments and mobility companies. MDS helps cities manage public transportation efficiently, standardizing interaction with mobility providers such as scooter and electric bike-sharing companies. This allows cities to implement and validate policies digitally, improving the management of public space and optimizing urban transportation.
MDS responds to the need to standardize urban mobility data management, facilitating the interaction between cities and mobility service providers. It provides tools to improve the regulation of public transportation and the use of public space, contributing to better urban planning and quality of life for residents.
**Unified Data Standards**: Provides a common data format for all mobility service providers. **Real-Time Data Sharing**: Facilitates the sharing of real-time data between cities and transportation providers. **Regulatory Compliance Tools**: Assists cities in enforcing local transportation regulations and policies. **Data Privacy Compliance**: Incorporates measures to ensure user data privacy and compliance with data protection regulations. **Traffic Management Insights**: Offers valuable insights for traffic flow optimization and urban planning. **API-Driven Integration**: Utilizes APIs for seamless integration with various urban mobility platforms. **Scalable Architecture**: Designed to accommodate growing data volumes and new transportation modalities. **Policy Development Support**: Aids in the development of informed and effective urban mobility policies.
