Hamburg explores the mobility of the future

A test track several kilometers long for automated and connected driving is being built in the city of Hamburg. The Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg is upgrading traffic light systems for the infrastructure-to-vehicle (I2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication (V2I). 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 of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI).

Hamburg C-ITS stations in the European TENtec interactive Map

Cooperative C-ITS services are available and operational on European roads via ITS-G5 short-range communication. The location of operational C-ITS stations in Europe is available in the European Commission's interactive map. The map shows all existing and operational C-ITS stations that have already been installed in the field and are compliant with the C-Roads specifications. In detail, the map provides information on the status, road name, road operator and C-ITS services coverage. The data in the map is updated on a frequent basis and made available online. This is an important milestone for improving public awareness and visibility of C-ITS services in Europe. The large number of operational road stations and their wide distribution is…
