Technical Visits
The chance to experience the most innovative ITS solutions, live and on-site!
Technical visits are an unique opportunity to explore the most advance ITS technical developments into real-life operations. Technologies will be shown in available locations, in and around Hamburg and all over Germany: the ITS Team will organise the transfers to the locations.
Please note that Technical Visits requiring long-distance transfers to the assigned location will be scheduled before or after the ITS World Congress days, in order to give you the possibility to attend the technical visit you choose without missing the activities scheduled in the general Congress programme.
For questions, please contact us here.
On the following you will find a detailed description of each Technical Visit we will offer during the ITS World Congress 2021 in Hamburg. The Technical Visit slots will be bookable via the online registration at 45,00€ excl. VAT / tour. Seats are limited.

Two automated friends – Passenger shuttle and delivery robot operating together in a challenging urban environment
The transport of passengers and goods has usually been considered separately. In the interest of sustainable and future mobility, both forms of transport should be considered in an integrated way. A change from the traditional system to a combined system, in which goods and people are transported together, requires new concepts. These must be studied on test fields under real conditions. TaBuLa-LOG investigates the integration of autonomous delivery robots into an automated passenger shuttle that had been implemented in a previous research project. The delivery robots have been developed specifically for this use case. The whole system is now being evaluated under real world conditions. Many challenges of a technical and structural nature are revealed.

Experience todays and future V2X use-cases first-hand
Participate in live demonstrations how V2X technology can improve road safety. On the ADAC Driving Safety Center Hannover/Laatzen (FSZ) NORDSYS GmbH shows how V2X applications can be tested and demonstrated on a closed proving ground. The facility combines real and even very special road elements, e.g. various glide surfaces, skid pads and aquaplaning lanes with virtualised V2X technology. The installations on the FSZ proving ground allow various and complex use-cases and thereof derived dynamic test scenarios for V2X based ADAS and AD functions.
In this excursion you will experience:
- Dynamic drive demo of day-1 use cases (SSVW, IVS, EBL, ICW, etc.)
- Mixed real world and simulated V2X testing
- Simulation of traffic scenarios with virtualised V2X stations (vehicles and infrastructure)
- Future of infrastructure based VRU protection with CPM
This event is organized and executed by the cooperation of NORDSYS GmbH and ADAC Fahrsicherheits-Zentrum Hannover/Laatzen GmbH.

Visit of electric bus depot in Alsterdorf
The most state-of-the-art bus depot in Germany has been erected on a floor space of 45,000 square metres in Alsterdorf, between the tracks of the U1, the S-Bahn and the goods bypass railway. The buses stand underneath 6 carports and are connected to the electricity and compressed air supply when they are not out on service. This is where HOCHBAHN’s growing electric bus fleet will in future be “refueled” with 100% certified green energy. The e-buses will be recharged overnight. HOCHBAHN’s first proprietary transformer station takes care of that, converting the voltage of 110 kV into the 20 kV needed.

Rural On-Demand Mobility & Ridepooling
The state of Schleswig-Holstein and the county of Rendsburg-Eckernförde (just north of Hamburg) are working on a pilot project to connect rural communities in a more efficient and cost-effective way – via on-demand mobility. Using the most modern of digital technology, passengers can book a ride from a virtual bus stop via a personalized smartphone app, and a backend routing algorithm will show their driver the most efficient way to transport them while pooling them with other passengers along the way. Experience this new form of on-demand mobility yourself and see why Schleswig-Holstein plans on offering this service throughout the entire state.

Hamburg’s Data Heart
We invite you to come on an exclusive trip into the heart of Hamburg’s data. You will get to know how the Urban Data Platform Hamburg (UDP) works and why many ITS-projects rely on it.
In addition to the UDP, this visit offers insight in three use-case categories:
– Data moves (Traffic infrastructure data)
– Data shows (Connected Urban Twin)
– Data flows (Real-time data)
The selected use-cases will give you an understanding of the opportunities data accessibility provides. Furthermore, we invite you to take inspiration from our work, transfer new ideas to your own projects, and bring them back to your home-towns.
