CoTwin

Demonstrating a platform for securely sharing transport infrastructure and vehicle data

CoTwin (Collaborative Digital Twins for Smart Mobility) is a project led by MobilityXlab & Lindholmen Science Park and financed by Vinnova to demonstrate a secure and sustainable data-sharing solution to solve challenges for local public authorities and society

The logistics and transport industry struggles with inefficiencies. Secure data sharing can change that.

Project CoTwin aims to demonstrate the development of a secure platform to share data from trucks and infrastructure in a safe and regulatory-compliant way. Joining startups, industry, and the public sector, the results from the project can help improve efficiency, create new business models, and develop new technologies to advance digitalization.

Project goals

The main goal of the CoTwin project is to demonstrate a platform for securely sharing transport infrastructure and vehicle data. It also aims to:

Demonstrate a robust and safe digital infrastructure pilot for data sharing.
Present a novel business model for data monetization.
Explore ways for the data to be used to address societal challenges.

The use case with the City of Gothenburg

Lindholmen will be the stage for the use case, where a Volvo truck equipped with 5G antennas and onboard cameras will drive through Lindholmsallén. It will capture real-time video of road signs, such as a 40 km/h speed limit sign. This video stream is securely transmitted via the 5G network to a Northstar/CanaryBit black box, a confidential computing node located at the network edge. Then, the sign content and position will be validated by comparing it against information provided by the City of Gothenburg.
