SAE Forms Mobility Data-Sharing Consortium

SAE International is creating a consortium to develop best practices for mobility data sharing.

The group initially will focus on micromobility systems, such as shared bicycles and scooters. Charter members include micromobility suppliers Jump (bicycles) and Spin (scooters), plus data mining specialist Populus and city planners in Florida’s Miami-Dade County.

Additional partners are expected to join the group later. The consortium also will collaborate with other industry organizations.

SAE says the group will develop standardized data definitions and metrics. Best practices also will be identified to coordinate public right-of-ways for shared spaces—streets, curbs and sidewalks—and to help ensure that personal data is safeguarded.
