The Swiss Transit Lab in the canton of Schaffhausen is an initiative of private companies, the Schaffhausen public transport operator and the regional and location development agency of the canton of Schaffhausen.
Swiss Transit Lab is a platform for research and development of smart mobility solutions under real-life conditions.
The Swiss Transit Lab invites interested parties from business, science and society to join forces in shaping solutions for the mobility of the future.
How will we move from A to B in the future? Which vehicles will transport us? Which drive technologies will take us forward? The mobility of the future raises numerous questions. Current studies show that traffic congestion in cities around the globe is increasing every year and will continue to do so.
Today's traffic systems are reaching their limits. This has consequences for people and the environment: even more congestion, increased demand for parking spaces and environmental pollution are just some of the disadvantages that result. On top of this, passengers' needs and demands on service quality are increasing.
These challenges must be addressed today to shape the mobility of tomorrow.
The Swiss Transit Lab is the hub for mobility of the future. Geographically well located between the leading automotive cluster in Southern Germany and the university center of Zurich.
It builds on unique infrastructure in a real-world environment, such as an automated bus line, which is available as a research platform for related technologies and products.
The Swiss Transit Lab is a joint project of Verkehrsbetriebe Schaffhausen VBSH, private companies from the fields of mobility, information technologies, smart city and the regional and location development of the canton of Schaffhausen.
The Swiss Transit Lab is based in the canton of Schaffhausen. The office is located at Freien Platz 10, directly at the Rhine harbor in Schaffhausen. Our area of action essentially covers the whole of Switzerland, so that regional and supraregional partners can benefit from the initiative.

26.08.2022The Swiss Transit Lab (STL) in Schaffhausen is about to take another step in the development of automated mobility in public transport. With the pilot project "STL Line 13", an automated bus operation in the city center of Schaffhausen is to be opened this year for the application of new technologies. The vehicle for this purpose arrived in Schaffhausen these days and was presented.
For this purpose, a commercial Toyota Proace Verso Electric minibus has been upgraded in recent weeks with the technology of the Finnish company Sensible 4. This phase was successfully completed and the vehicle was transferred to Switzerland. This represents an important step towards the launch of the "STL Line 13" project.
