Am I required to provide my data free and without limitations?

Every Delegated Regulation individually specifies whether (and which) data needs to be available free and without licence. Please review the About-Section and the Delegated Regulations and their annexes.

 

For MMTIS following requirements are specified:

No, you are not required to do this. For this reason, there is the option of specifying a license for the dataset. Unless the Delegated Regulation defines differently, the data are not required to be ‘open’.

The Delegated Regulation (Article 8 No 4) specifies the following:

'The terms and conditions for the use of the traffic and travel data provided through the national access point may be determined through a licence agreement. Those conditions shall not unnecessarily restrict possibilities for reuse or be used to restrict competition. Licence agreements, whenever used, shall in any event impose a few restrictions on reuse as possible. Any financial compensation shall be reasonable and proportionate to the legitimate costs incurred of providing and disseminating the relevant travel and traffic data.'
