ALIKE
Hamburg aims to provide all residents with a suitable mobility offer within five minutes by 2030. To achieve this goal, the city plans to introduce a flexible shuttle service with autonomous vehicles as a complement to the traditional public transportation system. The research project ALIKE should be the first to integrate a fleet of fully electric and autonomous shuttles into public transportation. These shuttles, the HOLON Mover and the ID. Buzz AD from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, are equipped with a self-driving system from Mobileye. The launch of the autonomous ride-pooling service, operated by Hamburger Hochbahn and MOIA, will start in 2025. ALIKE pave the way for the scaling of autonomous mobility. As part of the ALIKE project, we coordinate the sub-project for managing political tasks.

ahoi
The project ahoi focuses on autonomous on-demand mobility services that enable people to use means of transportation according to individual needs and at the same time bundle trips. This helps to relieve traffic congestion and promotes environmentally friendly mobility solutions. ahoi will be one of the first services in Europe in which the operational concept combines manual and autonomous vehicles, while taking into account accessibility for all population groups and seamless integration into public transport. We are leading the working group on accessibility in the project.

MODI
The project MODI adresses the shortage of driving personnel in a fast-growing logistics industry as well as road safety. As a European lighthouse project, MODI aims to accelerate the introduction of highly automated and connected driving in heavy-duty traffic to improve European logistics chains. We are responsible for the use case Germany in which the focus is on the transition from highly automated to manual driving scenarios.

DECARBOMILE
With 31 partners from ten different European countries, DECARBOMILE aims to reduce CO2 emissions on the last mile of goods transport. Over the next years, emission-reducing solutions for the last mile will be tested in the four cities of Hamburg, Logroño, Nantes and Istanbul. In the Hamburg use case goods from surrounding areas are to be transported waterborne by using electrically powered barges. The onward transport to the end customer will be carried out by e-bikes.
