A Kit of Parts: How to Use MDS Vehicles
One way that cities can take advantage of the flexibility MDS offers is through the MDS Vehicles endpoint, which lets cities know the current status of shared use vehicles in the public right of way.
Announcing the MDS 1.1.0 Release Candidate
The 1.1.0 release adds new top level APIs, privacy options, and transparency features to the Mobility Data Specification (MDS) as part of an effort to support requested use cases and take new steps in data privacy.
