Researchers from Innopolis University and Q Deep developed Mini-Scale Traffic Flow Optimization (MTF), a quantum annealing method that solves real-world traffic routing problems by breaking them into smaller QUBO subproblems. The approach runs more computation directly on quantum processing units rather than hybrid classical systems. Tests with 100-500 vehicles on Almaty traffic maps using D-Wave Advantage QPU showed faster solution times and better optimization performance, positioning quantum annealing as a practical tool for smart transportation systems.
