Sensors4Rail at the ITS World Congress 2021

At the ITS World Congress 2021 in Hamburg, Digital Schiene Deutschland and its cooperation partners Siemens Mobility, HERE Technologies, ibeo automotive and Bosch Engineering test sensor-based perception systems live in train operation during special journeys in the cross-industry pilot project "Sensors4Rail". State-of-the-art sensors on a S-Bahn Hamburg vehicle provide precise information about the train's surroundings and exact position. Based on this data, trains can be optimally controlled in the future and, for example, run at shorter intervals, which would bring more capacity to the railways.

Dressing up for the ITS World Congress

There was a lot to do in the run-up to the ITS! In July, our train underwent a dress-up, which you can get an impression of here:
