Abstract

A traffic flux maximization method and system to control traffic flow by combining classical computing machine learning to predict traffic flux minimization before its occurrence, with quantum annealing to optimize future positions of vehicles. Vehicles are redirected to minimize the travel time for each vehicle, taking into account other vehicles in the road network.
