As part of the QCMobility project run by the German Aerospace Centre (DLR), d-fine, planqc and other industry and research partners aim to answer the question of how quantum computers can contribute to sustainable, efficient and demand-oriented mobility in the future.
The QCMobility Intermodal Transport sub-project is investigating how quantum computers can help to better plan and control the transport of goods across different modes of transport – i.e. rail, road and waterways. The project partners are addressing a central problem: the increasing complexity of planning modern transport and logistics systems. A multitude of influencing factors – such as traffic conditions, capacities, demand, time windows and environmental influences – must be taken into account simultaneously and continuously re-evaluated. Conventional computers are reaching their limits in this regard.
The project partners are working on the development and evaluation of quantum-based optimisation approaches based on real-world use cases and data sets. As a company in the field of intermodal transport, Frankfurt-based Kombiverkehr KG is a participating partner.
