The Hamburg Senate has embraced a strategy when it comes to digital mobility. As one of the significant parts of the mobility transition, it happens to have the intent to make transportation across Hamburg in Germany more digital, easier, and more efficient for people.
In addition to other things, the strategy happens to focus on digital underground as well as suburban railroads, development when it comes to autonomous and on-demand shuttles, as well as intelligent traffic lights, and also strengthening the hvv switch as a central mobility platform.
By way of having the Digital Mobility Strategy, Hamburg also happens to be building on the agreement with the federal government that went on to make the metropolitan region a metropolitan model region in terms of mobility.
Apart from the digital rail as well as autonomous shuttles, the UITP Summit, 2025 and 2027 happen to be important components. The UITP Summit is all set to be taken as the world’s most significant mobility congress, along with an associated trade fair.
The senator for Transport and Mobility Transition, Anjes Tjarks, said that digitalization goes on to offer incredible opportunities when it comes to mobility transition, as it can make mobility much easier, more convenient and more rapid for people. With digitalized projects for the subway, one can go on to run trains every 100 seconds and, hence, impressively increase the services for the people. For instance, due to the digitalization projects for the subway, trains can be operated every 100 seconds, which, in a way, quite significantly pushes a surge in services for people. Apart from this, one can also supplement the traditional public transport services when it comes to buses and trains with autonomous shuttles and hence go on to achieve the Hamburg-Takt across the city, in which all get to receive public transport service in 5 minutes.
