The city is growing and, with it, the demands of industry and citizens for mobility are also changing. Hamburg sees this not only as a challenge, but above all as an opportunity for the development of intelligent transport systems.

Hamburg is one of the first German cities to test autonomous and connected vehicles on a manufacturer-independent course right in the city centre. Other projects include smart parking sensors, traffic-light phase assistants and on-demand shuttles. Also the port develops and implements intelligent logistics solutions. At the Altenwerder Container Terminal, for example, automated guided vehicles transport the containers to designated locations.
