Abstract

The Internet and digital technologies are transforming our world – in every walk of life and in every line of business. Europe must embrace the digital revolution and open up digital opportunities for people and businesses. That is why the European Commission has set the creation of a Digital Single Market (DSM) as one of its key priorities (May 2015). The DSM Strategy sets out three main pillars, where one of these is maximizing the growth potential of European digital economy. This requires investment in Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) such as Cloud Computing and Big Data. Creating the DSM is a top priority for digitalization of transport. There are many unseized opportunities resulting from the digitalization of the transport. This paper aims to present the outline of support proposed by Big Data/Cloud platforms and new opportunities which transport industry needs to achieve a digital transport market in Europe.
