The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $599,672 Project Grant under its Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) to support research into computational methods for managing traffic more efficiently during disruptions. The objective of this "BRITE PIVOT: QUANTUM ALGORITHMS FOR NONEQUILIBRIUM TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT IN CONNECTED TRANSPORTATION NETWORKS" project is to integrate quantum computing with classical methods to build systems that can predict and manage sudden traffic changes in real-time. The research aims to reduce congestion, improve road safety, and cut emissions, while advancing goals of economic productivity and sustainability. RPI will explore new ways to represent traffic as a complex, high-dimensional system and develop innovative algorithms to process large amounts of data and make informed decisions under rapidly changing conditions. The project runs from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2028.
