Hamburg Verkehrsanlagen GmbH will deliver and implement a new traffic control software for the city of Hamburg.
The project is in partnership with Yunex Traffic and will see the upgrade of the the new Central Control System for Signalized Intersections.
This will enable smart, flexible, and secure management of up to 2,000 traffic lights across Hamburg.
The new architecture seeks to enhance traffic flow, speed up public transport, prioritise emergency vehicles, and improve the city’s mobility transformation.
Ten legacy traffic computers will be replaced by a modern, location-redundant OCIT central system built on Yunex Traffic’s Yutraffic Symphony platform.
The solution also includes an integrated quality assurance system that continuously monitors and optimises traffic light performance.
Standardised, and open interfaces allow seamless integration with external systems such as the Hamburg Police Traffic Control Center, the State Office for Roads, Bridges and Waters, and the Hamburg Port Authority.
As a key component of the city’s digital infrastructure, the project actively contributes to the mobility transition by reducing travel times and cutting CO₂ emissions.
Designed to meet the highest standards in IT security, C-ITS functionalities, and open interface protocols like OCIT-O V3.0, the system directly addresses the challenges of modern urban traffic in a rapidly evolving city environment.
Managing director Yunex Traffic Germany, Nils Schmidt, said: “Hamburg is showing how modern traffic technology can truly support the shift to sustainable mobility.
“We’re proud to be part of this pioneering project and to set new standards for urban mobility together with such an innovative partner.”
Achievements and innovations in intelligent transport systems will be recognised and celebrated at the fourth annual CiTTi Awards on 25 November 2025 at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London.
