What is Quantm?

• Worlds first advanced planning system for corridor and route optimization developed over 15 years by Australian Government and Quantm.

• Addresses complex route planning issues, investigating millions of alignment options.

• A tool that empowers Planning Engineers with the ability to consider “all reasonable alternatives”, upfront and equally.

• Quantm provides training, support and system access – the system is applied by the agency or appointed consultant
