As part of the EU project L3Pilot, fka GmbH has already been able to test automated driving functions on public roads in Aachen. At the end of the project and at the ITS World Congress 2021, fka travelled to Hamburg with its test vehicle. Visitors to the congress were able to experience an automated ride in the fka test vehicle on the TAVF. In the weeks before and during the event, fka tested around 1000 km in urban areas, gaining valuable experience that can be used to further develop and safeguard automated driving. The drives took place on a 1.5 km section of the TAVF around the exhibition grounds and were always piloted by a safety driver.

The vehicle used for this purpose is specially equipped for the development and testing of…

The ITS World Congress 2021 for Intelligent Transport and Mobility Systems closed its doors in Hamburg on Friday, after a record 13,000 guests, 400 exhibitors from all over the world and around 4,000 members of the public came to the exhibition during the week of 11-15 October 2021 and especially on the Public Day (14 October 2021).

In preparation for the ITS World Congress 2021 in Hamburg, students from the University of Hamburg filmed a short report on the TAVF test track for the social media channels of ITS Young Mobility. The report focused on automated and connected driving as well as the protection of especially vulnerable road users (pedestrians, cyclists, etc.) on the TAVF route through Hamburg's city centre. In an interview, the operator of the test track and the technical partner were asked about the state of progress and the potential for the future. In a test drive with the TAVF user T-Systems, the young team of journalists from the University of Hamburg was able to experience the technology at first hand. First impressions of the shoot can be seen in the…
