Since 2010 the Port of Hamburg has been operating as a smartPORT with the ability to accurately capture traffic volumes, the type of vehicles and their speeds using inductive loops and detectors installed throughout the port. The port is also working on an integrated smart card system that will allow for real-time data collection from all modes of transport.
Since 2010 the Port of Hamburg has been operating as a smartPORT with the ability to accurately capture traffic volumes, the type of vehicles and their speeds using inductive loops and detectors installed throughout the port. However more recently, the Hamburg Port Authority has paired with NXP Semiconductors to implement an intelligent traffic light system throughout the port, where through RFID, the cars communicate with the sets of traffic lights.
