Abstract

One method to reduce vehicle congestion in a road traffic network is to appropriately control traffic signals. One control scheme for traffic signals is a distributed control scheme in which individual traffic signals cooperate locally with other geographically close traffic signals. Deep reinforcement learning has been actively studied to appropriately control traffic signals. In distributed control, it is important to select appropriate cooperative partners. In this study, we propose a method for selecting appropriate cooperative partners using deep reinforcement learning to the distributed traffic signal control.

Keyphrases: cooperation, deep q network, deep reinforcement learning, traffic signal control
