    Brief

    The Quantum Computing & Mobility (QCMobility) project is part of the Quantum Computing Initiative by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and is led by the DLR Institute for Quantum Technologies. This project aims to explore the potential of quantum computers for significant and critical application problems in mobility. Customized quantum algorithms and demonstration problems will be developed and implemented on quantum computing hardware at DLR innovation centers. In collaboration with industry partners and DLR institutes, quantum computing will be utilized for mobility applications, including strategic and tactical planning processes in air traffic, optimization problems in demand-oriented road traffic, planning and dispatch processes in rail traffic, route and trajectory optimization in maritime traffic for highly automated/autonomous systems, and optimization of multidimensional logistics networks in intermodal transport. The project results will contribute to the roadmap for 'Quantum Computing and Mobility.' The mobility domain of intermodal transport is overseen by the DLR Institute for Transport Research. The overarching goal of this subproject is to manage intermodal transport logistics chains and optimize multidimensional logistics networks using quantum computing. The practical objectives include: 1. Supporting the shift of freight transport from road to rail, 2. Promoting and enhancing the attractiveness of rail and combined transport (KV), and 3. Assisting logistics actors in decision-making by investigating the potential of quantum computing to optimize dynamic systems and evaluating their use in decision support systems and simulation models. The industrial participation in the QCMobility project in the area of intermodal transport consists of two components: direct involvement in the project and integration through technology transfer. Further information can be found in the attached service description (Part 2 of the procurement documents).
