Berlin and Brandenburg – “Urban Node” of the Trans-European Transport Network

Three of the multi-modal core network corridors intersect here:

The Oriental/East-Med corridor links the northern and Baltic Sea regions via Berlin to the Czech Republic–Slovakia–Hungary to the Black Sea (Bulgaria/Rumania) and the Mediterranean (Greece).

The north-Baltic Sea corridor Bremerhaven/Rotterdam/ Antwerp–Berlin–Warsaw–Terespol/Kaunas links the ports in western Europe with terminals in Germany, Poland and Lithuania.

The Scandinavian-Mediterranean corridor running along the north-south axis from Italy to Hamburg and Rostock and then on to Scandinavia.

Quick links and attractive prices

Located in the vicinity of the German sea ports, Berlin- Brandenburg offers a strategically optimum location for dis-tribution to the whole of Europe and to the traffic beyond the ports. Economic policies have created attractive frame-works for the promotion of investment goods, innovations and specialists.

High dynamics with top freight villages

The logistics industry is a key pillar in the development of the Berlin-Brandenburg Capital Region. The close network of business with scientific and research centers in a cluster, strengthens the innovative force and thus the international competitiveness of the companies. When it comes to logistics, the topics green logistics, intermodal traffic and specialist staff are essential factors. The aim of the work of the cluster (transport, mobility and logistics) is to strengthen the leading position of Berlin-Brandenburg as one of the BIG5 logistics locations in Germany. Five freight villages (GVZ) in Brandenburg and Berlin are counted among the best 20 in the whole of Germany. The freight villages (GVZ) Berlin Süd Großbeeren is one of the best in the logistics industry. International comparisons show that it is one of the Top 10 locations in Europe.

Telematics from the Capital Region

Traffic telematics has become one of the key elements of modern traffic management. The recording and assess-ment of small-scale and large-scale traffic situations requires modern sensors, high-performing algorithms and robust simulation models. The cross-traffic use of data is required in order to promote intermodal transport links. Intelligent traffic systems control, for example, changing traffic information on overhead gantry signs and communi-cation with cars and commercial vehicles via various end devices, such as smartphones and on-board units. Around 90 companies and 24 scientific establishments work in the telematics sectors. Established and specialized com-panies such as IVU Traffic Technologies, Kienzle Argo, Masternaut or PSI Logistics develop innovative hardware and software solutions for commercial traffic in the Capital Region.

Larger and globally oriented companies such as Siemens, Nokia Here, TomTom, T-Systems or Bosch Software In-novations have selected the region as their location for telematics activities. Toll Collect, the truck toll system is headquartered in Berlin. Personal and freight transport operators are users of modern traffic telematics systems and complete the value chain.

Traffic management in the German Capital Region is con-sidered exemplary within Europe. With the aim of making commercial traffic more environmentally friendly, more efficient and safer by developing and employing modern solutions, the interface between telematics and logistics started the cooperation network IWiT – Intelligenter Wirtschaftsverkehr durch Telematik in Metropolregionen (intelligent commercial traffic by way of telematics in metropolitan regions) in July 2014.
