This paper presents the results of a new deep learning model for traffic signal control. In this model, a novel state space approach is proposed to capture the main attributes of the control environment and the underlying temporal traffic movement patterns, including time of day, day of the week, signal status, and queue lengths. The performance of the model was examined over nine weeks of simulated data on a single intersection and compared to a semi-actuated and fixed time traffic controller. The simulation analysis shows an average delay reductions of 32% when compared to actuated control and 37% when compared to fixed time control. The results highlight the potential for deep reinforcement learning as a signal control optimization method.

This paper proposes a reinforcement learning approach for traffic control with the adaptive horizon. To build the controller for the traffic network, a Q-learning-based strategy that controls the green light passing time at the network intersections
is applied. The controller includes two components: the regular Q-learning controller that controls the traffic light signal, and the adaptive controller that continuously optimizes the action space for the Q-learning algorithm in order to improve the efficiency of the Q-learning algorithm. The regular Q-learning controller uses the control cost function as a reward function to determine the action to choose. The adaptive controller examines the control cost and updates the action space of the controller by determining the subset of actions that are most likely to obtain optimal results and shrinking the action space to that subset. Uncertainties in traffic influx and turning rate are introduced to test the robustness of the controller under a stochastic environment. Compared with those with model predictive control (MPC), the results show that the proposed Q-learning-based controller outperforms the MPC method by reaching a stable solution in a shorter period and achieves lower control costs. The proposed Q-learning-based controller is also robust under 30% traffic demand uncertainty and 15% turning rate uncertainty.
This paper develops a reinforcement learning (RL) scheme for adaptive traffic signal control (ATSC), called CVLight, that leverages data collected only from connected vehicles (CV). Seven types of RL models are proposed within this scheme that contai
n various state and reward representations, including incorporation of CV delay and green light duration into state and the usage of CV delay as reward. To further incorporate information of both CV and non-CV into CVLight, an algorithm based on actor-critic, A2C-Full, is proposed where both CV and non-CV information is used to train the critic network, while only CV information is used to update the policy network and execute optimal signal timing. These models are compared at an isolated intersection under various CV market penetration rates. A full model with the best performance (i.e., minimum average travel delay per vehicle) is then selected and applied to compare with state-of-the-art benchmarks under different levels of traffic demands, turning proportions, and dynamic traffic demands, respectively. Two case studies are performed on an isolated intersection and a corridor with three consecutive intersections located in Manhattan, New York, to further demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm under real-world scenarios. Compared to other baseline models that use all vehicle information, the trained CVLight agent can efficiently control multiple intersections solely based on CV data and can achieve a similar or even greater performance when the CV penetration rate is no less than 20%.
Inefficient traffic signal control methods may cause numerous problems, such as traffic congestion and waste of energy. Reinforcement learning (RL) is a trending data-driven approach for adaptive traffic signal control in complex urban traffic networ
ks. Although the development of deep neural networks (DNN) further enhances its learning capability, there are still some challenges in applying deep RLs to transportation networks with multiple signalized intersections, including non-stationarity environment, exploration-exploitation dilemma, multi-agent training schemes, continuous action spaces, etc. In order to address these issues, this paper first proposes a multi-agent deep deterministic policy gradient (MADDPG) method by extending the actor-critic policy gradient algorithms. MADDPG has a centralized learning and decentralized execution paradigm in which critics use additional information to streamline the training process, while actors act on their own local observations. The model is evaluated via simulation on the Simulation of Urban MObility (SUMO) platform. Model comparison results show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm in controlling traffic lights.
Reinforcement learning (RL) constitutes a promising solution for alleviating the problem of traffic congestion. In particular, deep RL algorithms have been shown to produce adaptive traffic signal controllers that outperform conventional systems. How
ever, in order to be reliable in highly dynamic urban areas, such controllers need to be robust with the respect to a series of exogenous sources of uncertainty. In this paper, we develop an open-source callback-based framework for promoting the flexible evaluation of different deep RL configurations under a traffic simulation environment. With this framework, we investigate how deep RL-based adaptive traffic controllers perform under different scenarios, namely under demand surges caused by special events, capacity reductions from incidents and sensor failures. We extract several key insights for the development of robust deep RL algorithms for traffic control and propose concrete designs to mitigate the impact of the considered exogenous uncertainties.
We consider networked control systems consisting of multiple independent controlled subsystems, operating over a shared communication network. Such systems are ubiquitous in cyber-physical systems, Internet of Things, and large-scale industrial syste
ms. In many large-scale settings, the size of the communication network is smaller than the size of the system. In consequence, scheduling issues arise. The main contribution of this paper is to develop a deep reinforcement learning-based emph{control-aware} scheduling (textsc{DeepCAS}) algorithm to tackle these issues. We use the following (optimal) design strategy: First, we synthesize an optimal controller for each subsystem; next, we design a learning algorithm that adapts to the chosen subsystems (plants) and controllers. As a consequence of this adaptation, our algorithm finds a schedule that minimizes the emph{control loss}. We present empirical results to show that textsc{DeepCAS} finds schedules with better performance than periodic ones.
