MobiData BW® aggregates mobility data statewide as open data. This creates the digital foundation for connected, digital mobility.

On the Move with Open Data

Modern mobility connects different modes of transportation. Information is essential to ensure seamless transfers between buses, trains, car-sharing services, bicycles, and cars.

Open mobility data enables digital, cross-platform information systems. It links existing services and makes sustainable mobility easy to use.

One Platform for Baden-Württemberg

MobiData BW® aggregates mobility data from municipalities, transport associations, and private providers. This creates a central point of access to a wide range of information for data users.

Uniform standards and licenses ensure secure use and reduce the technical effort required for further processing. The “digital.mobil.BW.2030” digitization strategy of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Transportation serves as the basis for these initiatives.
