This study assesses the most relevant and credible solutions to continue providing such capabilities.

This workshop, held in Brussels on 24 January 2018, aimed at getting the views of stakeholders around the conditions for data sharing in the context of Cooperative, Connected and Automated Mobility (CCAM).

Further discussions between stakeholders is needed to close the gap, the real question is perhaps not around the technology for data access but the governance of the system and the need to address market failure.
