For Technical Parameter TP-4 (federated learning)
For Technical Parameter TP-4 (federated learning): does Phase I require a live multi-party FL deployment involving distinct legal entities sharing model updates, or is a simulated federation — two data partitions on the same infrastructure representing separate jurisdictions — sufficient as a Phase I architecture demonstration?

A simulated federation is sufficient for a Phase I architecture demonstration; a live multi-party federated learning deployment involving distinct legal entities is not required until Phase II. For Phase I, the primary deliverable is to demonstrate a functional predictive AI architecture and build a preliminary model (proof of concept) for a selected freight corridor or segment using combined real-world and synthetic datasets. The actual implementation of federated capabilities to enable distributed model learning and real-time processing (while preserving data privacy) is identified as a Phase II outcome.
