- Traffic Management System – Car manufacturer Volkswagen Group created quantum computing algorithm that optimizes traffic management of public vehicles, able to assign and predict precise numbers of vehicles to different destinations, with plans to sell it to cities
- Efficient Transportation – Benefits include more efficient fleets, eliminating underutilization and shortage of vehicles, and reduced wait times for passengers
- Quantum Computers – D-Wave supplied quantum computers, which are faster than conventional supercomputers, to enable algorithm
- Development Process – Analyzed anonymized data (from smartphones or transmitters in vehicles) using conventional computers to calculate traffic accumulation, and number of people involved, and then did traffic management optimization through quantum algorithm
- Initial Tests – Will begin testing in Barcelona in collaboration with telecommunications network operator Orange and data science specialist Teralytics
