Shanghai launched China's first trustworthy data ecosystem for the transportation sector at the Global Data Ecosystem Conference on Nov 25, setting a benchmark for smart mobility development.

At a forum hosted by Shanghai Suishenxing Intelligent Transportation Technology Co Ltd, the city's mobility-as-a-service platform unveiled the ecosystem, developed under the guidance of the Shanghai Data Bureau and the Shanghai Municipal Transportation Commission.

Designed as a central hub for collaborative data creation across the mobility industry, the platform leverages Shanghai's reliable data circulation infrastructure to deliver full-process data services, spanning data aggregation, sharing, circulation, and operations. It ensures end-to-end notarization, full-chain credibility, and lifecycle security.

The ecosystem aims to streamline data circulation through convenient one-stop services supported by a robust technical framework and deep industry insight. It helps data providers explore new application scenarios and expand product channels, while enabling data users to respond to needs more efficiently, foster multi-source data integration, and reduce the cost of data acquisition and cooperation.

By connecting major institutions and enterprises involved in transportation operations, urban construction and management, technology research and development, and academic research, the Shanghai trustworthy mobility data ecosystem is shaping a collaborative framework that covers the entire industry chain.

Its first batch of partners includes key players in the transportation, urban construction, internet technology, digital applications, artificial intelligence, and location-based services, alongside leading domestic research institutes and university think tanks. All expressed strong support for jointly advancing a trustworthy data environment and exploring new paths for the industry's growth.

The ecosystem builds on the strong data foundation of Shanghai's MaaS system, which has integrated full volume data and nine transportation scenarios, including ground and rail transportation, taxi-hailing services, long-distance passenger transport, parking lots, railway passenger transport, air passenger transport, shared bicycles, and MaaS travel data to build China's first high-quality dataset for mobility services.
