The place for collaborative workshops at the touch table.
The Smart City Demonstrator is a permanent fixture in the Hammerbrooklyn area in Hamburg’s Speicherstadt. Here, Drees & Sommer meets with various clients – mostly municipalities or partner companies – to hold workshops. The touch table is the central point of reference where technological changes can be experienced firsthand.
How does a traffic-calmed city center change the overall traffic situation?
What path chains do the residents of my district have based on building use?
How do smart city furniture – such as street lighting that regulates traffic flow – affect the overall situation of the city?
Particular attention was paid to a realistic traffic and pedestrian AI, which calculates the various walking and driving routes between points of interest and places them within a daily routine.
The intervention of new technologies into today’s cityscape changes numerous factors that are usually difficult to comprehend. The algorithms developed or adapted for the project are intended to make these factors tangible.
