MobiData BW® - Using data to promote climate-friendly mobility

MobiData BW® is the cross-modal open data platform for mobility data of the state of Baden-Württemberg: www.mobidata-bw.de

Climate-friendly mobility across all modes of transport is oriented towards one central component today and in the future: Data. Whether it's municipal transport planning, intelligent routing or the low-threshold use of multimodal route chains - data such as real-time public transport information or location and availability details of sharing services are needed everywhere, and in the best case as open data freely accessible as on MobiData BW®.

The team behind MobiData BW® supports the development of digital innovations for climate-friendly mobility as the central competence centre for open mobility data in the state.

Promoting climate-friendly mobility by bundling relevant data

The bundling as well as the open provision of mobility data allows low-threshold data use, for example in local information systems, tourism maps or central mobility displays. The networking of data from different modes of transport should in particular promote more sustainable forms of mobility and thus facilitate the switch to climate-friendly transport options.

Only if journeys can be easily and conveniently combined with different modes of transport can intermodal and multimodal mobility behaviour become established, in terms of the defined climate goals in transport.
