Hamburg explores the mobility of the future

A test track several kilometers long for automated and connected driving has been set up in the city of Hamburg. Since 2018, the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg has been upgrading traffic lights for infrastructure-to-vehicle (I2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication. Vehicle manufacturers, technology companies and research institutions will be able to test innovative mobility services, such as automated driving functions or safety assistance systems, in real traffic on public roads. The development and operation of the test track is supported by the Federal Ministry Digital and Transport (BMDV) and the European Union within the Connected Europe Facility.

Extensive measurement drives for the EDDY project

From July 24 to 28, 2023, the teams from DLR and HAW Hamburg conducted extensive measurement runs on the TAVF and the HEAT track in Hamburg.

The aim of the investigation was to obtain reference measurements for LIDAR and camera-based localisation for the EDDY project. Furthermore, input data for the detection and localisation of objects, e.g. construction site beacons, were collected and the prototype for an air quality measurement system was tested.
