DISCLOSURE OF DATA
Standards for data transfer and sharing
The City of Frankfurt/Main and especially the traffic management department have always been committed to maintaining standards for data transfer and sharing. Two services are available: the mobility data portal MDM and the open data portal “Offene Daten Frankfurt”.
Mobility data marketplace
The mobility data marketplace MDM was initiated by the German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) as part of the project “Metadata platform for individual transport information” in order to establish a new traffic data portal which would pave the way for the transport of the future. The MDM portal is operated by the German Federal Highway Research Institute (BaSt). The portal has been operating routinely since 2012.
Alongside the wide range of media (e.g. internet, variable message signs and radio), the MDM portal is the central point where the integrated traffic control centre makes traffic information (such as building sites, parking data, traffic reports and detector data) available to data subscribers (e.g. providers of transport information services) in a standardised format. As the de-facto standard data model for transferring traffic data, DATEX II is used to share traffic data with the MDM portal. The transmission protocols are SOAP and OTS2.

Spatial Data Infrastructure Frankfurt am Main (GDI-FFM)
The City of Frankfurt am Main uses the GDI-FFM to provide summarised spatial data (geodata) from the various offices, departments and companies of the city administration.
The GDI-FFM consists of the Geoportal and the geodata catalogue. These two components are linked to each other. The geoportal is the central access point to all geodata. Here, users can search for and visualise all geodata using search and visualisation tools, link them and compile individual maps. The integrated geodata catalogue of the geoportal is comparable to an electronic library catalogue, in which the products offered, such as geodata and geodata services, are listed and described.
The Road Traffic Office provides a wide range of data under the heading Mobility and Traffic, including residents' parking areas, disabled parking spaces, roadworks, traffic reports, including for cyclists, and now also traffic volumes in the geoportal.
