Denso and Toyota Tsusho use Quantum computer to analyse IoT data

Denso and Toyota Tsusho (TT) have joined forces in Thailand to process vehicle location and travel data in real-time from around 130,000 commercial vehicles using D-Wave Systems' quantum computer to process data from a traffic IoT platform. The test aims to advance research and development on technology for connected vehicles and transportation systems.

Denso and 1686 Toyota Tsusho (TT) have joined forces in Thailand to process vehicle location and travel data in real-time from around 130,000 commercial vehicles using D-Wave Systems' quantum computer to process data from a traffic IoT platform. The test aims to advance research and development on technology for connected vehicles and transportation systems.


Both companies will also implement quantum computer-based data analysis and processing technologies from TSquare (TS). Denso’s new algorithm will then process and analyse quantum computer-based data, and TT will integrate it into a new application on the TS platform. Findings will help guide to make development to make transportation more efficient in areas such as traffic congestion and route optimization for emergency vehicles.

Quantum computers are designed with the intention of performing calculations to find a large number of combinations simultaneously and are said to analyse certain data faster than conventional computers.

    Driverless trucks are set to be trialled on the streets of Singapore under an agreement between the country’s Singapore’s Ministry of Transport (MOT) and PSA Corporation and automotive companies Scania and Toyota Tsusho. The two companies will design, develop and test an autonomous truck platooning system for use on Singapore's public roads. The platoon will use public roads while transporting containers between port terminals in Singapore. The aim is to organise convoys of four trucks, with three au

  • Smartphone solution for parking performance
    March 31, 2017
    Automated parking offers optimised space utilisation and fewer damage complaints as David Crawford discovers. As cars become smarter, technology designed to make parking them more straightforward is developing in parallel. In turn, it is becoming clear that the places where vehicles spend much of their time will need to respond – more comprehensively than by supporting established aids such as smartphone-based parking location and reservation, or payment for time used.
