Hamburg's new digital mobility data: pilot project for real orientation!

Hamburg-Nord, Deutschland - Hamburg takes an innovative step in urban mobility. Today, the Hanseatic city will put its new digital city information plants into operation, which should make it easier for citizens and visitors to find their way better in public space. [Development City.de] (https:// Development Stadt.de/mobilitaetsdats-im-oeffhalt-- Neues-Pilotprojekt-in-hamburg/) reports that the goal of this initiative is not only the improvement of transparency, but also more efficient use of the traffic offerings.

In close cooperation with the company Ströer, Hamburg pursues a promising concept. Initial positive experiences were already gained as part of the port birthday and the European Football Championship 2024. In the future, the digital tables all over Hamburg should provide current information, including the display of available Park+Ride parking spaces. If the free parking spaces drop below 10%, you immediately refer to alternative parking garages or the use of public transport.

digital information technology in use

The newly installed systems use real -time data of the Urban Data Platform, for example to optimally present the parking space situation. Users also receive information about city bike offers and local public transport. And best of all: The next steps also provide the integration of downtown parking houses into this system.

18 Digital city information systems now show current bicycle traffic figures from the Hamburg cycling network. The data is recorded around the clock by infrared detectors and updated every 15 minutes. In addition, the counting data in the city's geoportal are available. This information is made accessible to everyone at popular locations such as Dammtor, Wandsbeker Marktplatz and the Landungsbrücken. Almost 50 other digital tablets provide information about current cycle paths in the area and have attracted a lot of attention since the beginning of the test phase for cycling route information services that are supposed to take three months.

A step into the future of mobility

Martin Bill, State Councilor for Transport and Mobility Transition, emphasizes the relevance of this project for the traffic transition in Hamburg. The system, which has been in operation at the Alte Harburg Elbbrücke since Easter 2025, is intended to serve an environmentally friendly and sustainable urban traffic design.

This development is in accordance with global trends on how to strive for the transformative Urban Mobility Initiative (Tumi). [ubilabs.com] (https://ubilabs.com/de/insights/daten-als-schluessel-zur-nachtigen-urbanen-transport reversal) emphasizes that 4 billion people in urban rooms are expected to live by 2050, which cover around 50 trillion kilometers in urban traffic networks. Effective mobility management is essential in this context. Tumi has already developed a number of tools to better use data in traffic planning and to promote accessibility and usability of mobility data.

The Hamburg approach is a promising example of how innovative data control can also provide more sustainability in traffic. The city not only does a good job in digitization, but also makes a valuable contribution to achieving global climate goals.
