The FCPI project has specific cybersecurity and data protection expectations for handling sensitive and proprietary freight data. To protect proprietary business, occupant or vehicle information, the project emphasizes the use of federated learning methods and federated data exchange protocols. This approach allows for model training and validation across multiple jurisdictions while minimizing the need to transfer raw, sensitive data. Proprietary data should be aggregated, anonymized, and de-identified at the corridor or segment level. Proposed solutions are expected to utilize end-to-end encryption, secure APIs, and credential-based, role-limited access.
