The Open Transport Initiative was originally set-up to create and support the adoption of customer account data sharing (AKA “Smart Data”) across the transport & mobility sector. And having data (such as usage, journey information & discounts) shared from different accounts across the sector is an important first step. However the maximum benefit of Smart Data lies in the potential to connect cross-sector data.
The diagram below is our attempt to show how data from different sectors can be shared with transport data to create new and exciting cross-sector services.
For example, combining vehicle (e.g. car, motorcycle, etc.) usage data with financial product information could create a completely personalised insurance suite of products.
