moveID, a Bosch-led project within the Gaia-X 4 Future Mobility project family, will unveil its live demo at IAA MOBILITY 2023.
At the event, moveID will demonstrate via the MOBIX app for peer-to-peer parking and charging a first glimpse of its vision of a decentralized mobility service ecosystem.
The demonstration involving Tesla and Jaguar electric vehicles will showcase novel mobility services and business opportunities arising with the use of decentralised technologies with integrated payment capabilities. The live demo will show how autonomous transactions between connected devices streamline expenses and add new revenue streams.
As our mobility infrastructure, power grids, and other building blocks make our cities grow smarter, trusted identification of parties is a key challenge to tackle on the journey to unlock the full business potential of connected vehicles – particularly when it comes to Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication.
The digital mobility infrastructure built by moveID project partners uses Self-Sovereign Identities (SSIs) and enables autonomous transactions between vehicles and connected infrastructure. SSIs efficiently leverage blockchain technology as a vendor-neutral digital backbone and enable connected vehicles, traffic infrastructure, and service providers to transact and create value for humans and one another.
At IAA MOBILITY 2023 in Munich, moveID will showcase the business and impact potential of SSIs issued to vehicles and service providers creating real-world value. At the live demonstration, visitors will try first-hand the process of finding, reserving, and using a parking lot and an EV charging point that are being offered in a peer-to-peer fashion, e.g., by companies allowing access to their parking lots.
Behind the scenes, decentralisation tools enable a convenient experience with full privacy as the vehicles use their own digital wallets to cover the parking and charging fees.
The following moveID participants will be contributing to the demonstration: Bosch, Datarella, deltaDAO AG, Ocean Protocol, DENSO, Fetch.ai, Saarland University of Applied Sciences, peaq and 51nodes.
As the project lead, Bosch will be providing general organisational and coordination support for the initiative and evaluate its potential for industry adoption based on the model’s performance in the live demo.
On top of that Bosch will provide an electric Jaguar powered by a full suite of specialised hardware enabling V2X communications and providing the foundation for automotive grade self-sovereign identity.
“At moveID, we believe that the best way to imagine the future is to experience it first-hand,” says Peter Busch, moveID Project Lead and Product Owner for Distributed Ledger Technologies (Mobility) at Robert Bosch GmbH.
“The demonstration at IAA is meant to do just that, putting the first fruits of our work on public display in a testimony to the feasibility of its underlying vision.”
DENSO, a global mobility supplier that develops advanced automotive technologies, systems and products, is providing organizational and technical support to the initiative. It is also sponsoring the Alfen Eve Double Pro-line charging station, which will be used in the live demonstration.
“We are excited to showcase this live demo to the wider industry as we see great potential in using privacy-first tech to power the future of mobility. Data is crucial for R&D efforts in the automotive space, but data must be sourced in a secure and compliant way” says Christian Prehofer, director at DENSO Automotive Germany.
While the demonstration focuses on the mobility industry, the business model behind it can be implemented in a wide array of industries, such as public-to-private power grid interplay and smart supply chain management.
The moveID project invites all stakeholders in the EV charging ecosystem to participate and make their individual charging solution part of the overall charging network.
“The live demo at IAA MOBILITY will clearly demonstrate the vision behind Gaia-X 4 moveID in the most tangible and clear-cut way possible — by letting the users experience the future it aims for. We are excited to bring this live demo to Munich and look forward to showcasing it to business and policy decision-makers from around the world,” says Peter Busch.
The project Gaia-X 4 moveID was started in July 2022 and is fiscally supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action over a three-year period.
