ZLC leads INDIMO pilots, starting with the pilot setup: definition of specific actions required for their implementation, their corresponding time plan and the roles of the partners involved. On the other hand, ZLC leads the development of INDIMO cybersecurity and privacy assessment guidelines, through dedicated scenarios (based on the level of criticality of the pilots and their maturity) considering both technical and user acceptance aspects. Last, ZLC is in charge of INDIMO data management policy. In general, ZLC incorporates the logistics perspective in understanding the process of deployment of digital mobility services, as well as deriving policy recommendations.
