C-ITS Pilot of hamburg

As part of C-Roads Germany – Urban Nodes, various cooperative ITS services (C-ITS services) were implemented in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg.

The services were initially tested on the test track for automated and connected driving in Hamburg and then continuously expanded to other areas of the city of Hamburg. The map shows the level of expansion achieved through the activities in C-Roads Germany – Urban Nodes.

in C-Roads Germany – Urban Nodes.

In this area, the Free and Hanseatic City has gradually equipped traffic lights for infrastructure-to-vehicle (I2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication with roadside units.

The project area includes a number of heavily loaded city streets, including main roads and district roads. The route offers particularly complex conditions for testing cooperative ITS services and enables research institutions and companies to test and trial applications for V2I/I2V communication as well as connected and automated driving.

As part of the project, a total of 140 traffic light systems has been equipped with roadside units in order to implement the C-ITS services Green Light Optimal Speed Advisory (GLOSA) and Probe Vehicle Data (PVD). In addition, the Vulnerable Road User Protection Service (VRU) was implemented at an unsignalised double intersection in Hamburg's HafenCity in order to improve the long-term road safety of pedestrians, cyclists and other vulnerable road users with the help of this C-ITS service.
