Hamburg and Here to partner on intelligent mobility

The Germany city of Hamburg and mapping and location specialist Here Technologies plan to share traffic-relevant data, with the aim of enhancing traffic safety and reduce noise and pollutant emissions by improving traffic flows. The partners plan to cooperate in various areas and to start joint projects. As part of the partnership Hamburg will provide Here with access to up-to-date, non-personal data related to public transit, construction sites, major events and parking availability.

The Germany city of Hamburg and mapping and location specialist Here Technologies plan to share traffic-relevant data, with the aim of enhancing traffic safety and reduce noise and pollutant emissions by improving traffic flows. The partners plan to cooperate in various areas and to start joint projects.

 
As part of the partnership Hamburg will provide Here with access to up-to-date, non-personal data related to public transit, construction sites, major events and parking availability. Here will integrate this data into the Here Reality Index, its database of location-based information.

Based on this data both partners can jointly or separately develop services and provide information to transport users, helping them to take the best decisions and enabling Hamburg to improve its traffic management. In addition, both partners plan to co-operate on enabling automated driving in urban environments, which can use the Here HD Live Map, which supports autonomous driving.

    Additional accuracy enhances ITS options
    High accuracy and reliability of GNSS location data is available using the EGNOS services to be ready for Galileo’s expanding satellite constellation. Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) are increasingly a building block for ITS applications from road user charging and E-call to tracking & tracing of freight. Even while the European Space Agency is still assembling the Galileo constellation, EGNOS (the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) is already providing the basis of a range of ser

    GIS mapping smoothes ITS operations and increases efficiencies
    Alexander Gerschenkron, the famous economic historian, once posited a benefit for those countries which come late to economic development: that they could introduce the latest technology and thus jump over some of the standard development paths followed by their predecessors . It is entirely possible to make the same observation of late-comers to ITS: that they can gain from the pains of those who went before and more easily implement best practice in ITS. As a consequence, it is entirely likely the Abu Dha
