Summary:Methods and systems for a quantum computing approach to solving challenging, e.g., NP-complete, problems in transportation. One of the methods includes (a) ingesting transportation-related data into a graph structure, the transportation-related data being associated with a transportation system; (b) identifying a transportation metric associated with the transportation system; (c) identifying at least one attribute associated with the transportation-related data, where the transportation metric is based at least in part on the attribute; (d) using a quantum computer to derive an operational parameter for the attribute that improves the transportation metric; and (e) applying the operational parameter to the operation of the transportation system.
