ZenaTech launches quantum computing project for traffic optimization and weather forecasting using drones

ZenaTech Inc.

TORONTO, December 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (“ZenaTech”), a technology company specializing in AI (artificial intelligence) drone solutions, Drone- as- a-Service (DaaS), quantum computing and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) enterprise solutions, today announced the launch of a Quantum IT project for traffic optimization and weather forecasting using the company’s drones. The project, called Sky Traffic, was developed following interest from a government customer in using the company’s ZenaDrone 1000 drones to monitor vehicle traffic.

The project will provide real-time traffic data to both the government agency and drivers, with the aim of improving the precision, accuracy and timeliness of information to optimize functions such as traffic flows. traffic and routing, traffic light management, public safety and deployment. government services. This is achieved by accessing larger data sets and more computing power more quickly than current methods. ZenaTech’s Quantum Computing team will use Amazon Web Services (AWS) as the computing platform to manage the project. The company also plans to use Sky Traffic with ZenaDrone 1000 drones in weather radar applications for faster and more accurate weather forecasts.

“The Sky Traffic project is an important and exciting application of our product capabilities and our team’s knowledge in the field of quantum computing. The integration of quantum computing with AI-driven drones will revolutionize the way we analyze and respond to complex data, enabling faster, more accurate decision-making and opening new possibilities in automation, d “efficiency and real-time problem solving,” said CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D.

Quantum computing is an emerging field of advanced computing that exploits the unique qualities of quantum mechanics to solve problems beyond the capacity of today’s most powerful classical computers, and to process problems and data extremely complex mathematics at much faster speeds.

Drones are used by governments to monitor and improve road traffic by providing real-time aerial monitoring of traffic conditions and identifying traffic jams, accidents and bottlenecks. Equipped with cameras, sensors and GPS, drones can collect data on vehicle flow, allowing authorities to optimize traffic lights, reroute traffic and plan infrastructure improvements and management. emergencies based on real-time information. Quantum computing can increase the speed and accuracy of these applications.
