Multiagent Reinforcement Learning for Integrated Network of Adaptive Traffic Signal Controllers (MARLIN-ATSC): Methodology and Large-Scale Application on Downtown Toronto
TL;DR: This paper presents the development and evaluation of a novel system of multiagent reinforcement learning for integrated network of adaptive traffic signal controllers (MARLIN-ATSC), and shows unprecedented reduction in the average intersection delay.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design of Reinforcement Learning Parameters for Seamless Application of Adaptive Traffic Signal Control
TL;DR: This article investigates the following dimensions of the control problem: 1) RL learning methods, 2) traffic state representations, 3) action selection methods, 4) traffic signal phasing schemes, 5) reward definitions, and 6) variability of flow arrivals to the intersection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Traffic capacity implications of automated vehicles mixed with regular vehicles
TL;DR: An analytical framework for quantifying and evaluating the impacts of AVs on the capacities of highway systems is proposed and it is indicated that a maximum lane capacity of 6,450 vph per lane is achievable if all vehicles are driven in a cooperative automated manner.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the Potential Impacts of Connected Vehicles: Mobility, Environmental, and Safety Perspectives
TL;DR: In this paper, a modeling framework is developed based on traffic microsimulation for a real network located in the city of Toronto, Canada, to mimic communication between enabled vehicles, and the effects of providing real-time routing guidance and advisory warning messages to CVs are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergency evacuation planning as a network design problem: a critical review
Hossam Abdelgawad,Baher Abdulhai +1 more
TL;DR: A framework is proposed that compiles evacuation strategies, network design problem formulation, traffic simulation and optimization tools in an attempt to fill some of the identified gaps/limitations of emergency evacuation planning.
