The core intention of the AutoMat project is to establish a novel and open ecosystem in the form of a cross-border Vehicle Big Data Marketplace that leverages currently unused information gathered from a large amount of vehicles from various brands. The interface to the marketplace is derived from a brand-independent Common Vehicle Information Model (CVIM) that makes aggregated vehicle data accessible to cross-sectorial service providers. AutoMat intends to reduce the costs for realizing and providing services based on vehicle data, by achieving the following:
- Creation of an open ecosystem for provisioning of manufacturer and service provider independent vehicle data
- Single point of data access for service providers via the Marketplace
- Definition of standardized and open interfaces for unconstrained data access
- Specification of the Common Vehicle Information Model (CVIM) data format that enables harmonized, generic vehicle data access
- Provision of a broad spectrum of collected data due to different participating OEMs
- Definition and prototyping of Vehicle Big Data Marketplace concept as mediator between vehicle data and cross-sectorial service providers
- Validation of the AutoMat concept by developing cross-sectorial (non-automotive) example services, e.g.: Meteorological Data based Hyper Local Services and Extended Innovative Enterprise Services
- Development, definition and validation of a market business model and its value chain as well as stimulating the market participation by an open call for services and application
