Data sources

What is monitored?

Elbtunnel StauAgent is a private service by StauAgent. The monitor primarily uses the official Autobahn API, filters to the Hamburg Elbtunnel area, and evaluates new warnings, closures, and roadworks before sending alerts.

Autobahn API

Official data for warnings, closures, and roadworks on the A7 plus relevant nearby motorways.

AI and rule filter

New items are deduplicated and ranked for relevance, so routine roadworks do not trigger every alert.

Not an official status display

The alerts help with orientation. For critical trips, also check official sources.
