Dēmos – democratic mobility system
The platform Dēmos uses block chain technology to give users of different mobility services sovereignty over their data and enabling them to become a provider themselves.
Whether it’s personal data, transactions or motion profiles, when mobility services are used a large amount of data accumulates – data that has to be protected. With the help of block chain technology, Dēmos enables users to keep tabs on their data. They can call it up everywhere and at any time for their digital processes and decide themselves who can access which information. Hence Dēmos provides an efficient transaction level for mobility services that everyone can use in keeping with the Sharing Economy: direct, transparent, and secure interaction between providers, users, and vehicles. Computer protocols that model contracts – so-called smart contracts – and the block chain technology enable private individuals to switch from being a user to a provider and to make their own vehicles, parking spaces, or loading boxes at a local market available to others.
This gives rise to completely digital markets directly between neighbours and companies with no intermediaries. Dēmos makes mobility easier and barrier-free, and strengthens social cohesion because people share mobility resources effectively.
