Weather is important for all of us:  For our  work, transportation, our activity and leisure time plans - even for our mood. Accurate and reliable weather forecasts are thus a basic need for many companies and industries like Energy providers, logistics and even retail.

Could you imagine that your vehicle could predict the weather for others? Or at least contribute to making weather forecasts? While you are on the road in your Volkswagen, your vehicle provides you with a range of information: For example, it shows you the outside temperature and a sensor calculates the amount of rainfall to adjust the windscreen wipers accordingly. If necessary, the electronic stabilisation program (ESP) may warn you.

Connecting the charging infrastructure of buildings and vehicles: this service aims to provide smart charging services for E-vehicle drivers with respect to energy balance, using different types of data available on the Big Data Marketplace

The CPP data marketplace as the central element of the Cross-CPP ecosystem handles the brokering of brand-independent data from the different IoT devices allowing data customers to create new innovative B2B and B2C data-based products and services. The CPP Cloud Storage complements the Marketplace by providing a cloud-based data storage infrastructure that offers secure and private data vaults to data providers, to store their devices data packages in the CIDM format.

The Analytics Toolbox simplifies the extraction of the latter, by providing a set of libraries and modules designed to satisfy most data-related needs, and based on the most recent concepts and algorithms developed by the scientific community.

The Common Industrial Data Model (CIDM) is an open and highly scalable big data format, designed to harmonize IoT proprietary data into generic datasets, representing one of the crucial elements of the Cross-CPP ecosystem.
