Emission reduction potential of freeway stop-and-go wave smoothing
Junyi Ji, Derek Gloudemans, Gergely Zachár +4
The real-world potential of stop-and-go wave smoothing at scale remains largely unquantified. Smoothing freeway waves requires opening a gap large enough for them to dissipate, but…
Real-World Deployment and Assessment of a Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning-Based Variable Speed Limit Control System
Yuhang Zhang, Zhiyao Zhang, Junyi Ji +7
This article presents the first field deployment of a multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) based variable speed limit (VSL) control system on Interstate 24 (I-24) near Nashvil…
Phase Re-service in Reinforcement Learning Traffic Signal Control
Zhiyao Zhang, George Gunter, Marcos Quinones-Grueiro +4
This article proposes a novel approach to traffic signal control that combines phase re-service with reinforcement learning (RL). The RL agent directly determines the duration of t…
Stop-and-go wave super-resolution reconstruction via iterative refinement
Junyi Ji, Alex Richardson, Derek Gloudemans +6
Stop-and-go waves are a fundamental phenomenon in freeway traffic flow, contributing to inefficiencies, crashes, and emissions. Recent advancements in high-fidelity sensor technolo…
Designing, simulating, and performing the 100-AV field test for the CIRCLES consortium: Methodology and Implementation of the Largest mobile traffic control experiment to date
Mostafa Ameli, Sean Mcquade, Jonathan W. Lee +20
Previous controlled experiments on single-lane ring roads have shown that a single partially autonomous vehicle (AV) can effectively mitigate traffic waves. This naturally prompts…
Traffic Control via Connected and Automated Vehicles: An Open-Road Field Experiment with 100 CAVs
Jonathan W. Lee, Han Wang, Kathy Jang +61
The CIRCLES project aims to reduce instabilities in traffic flow, which are naturally occurring phenomena due to human driving behavior. These "phantom jams" or "stop-and-go waves,…
Hierarchical Speed Planner for Automated Vehicles: A Framework for Lagrangian Variable Speed Limit in Mixed Autonomy Traffic
Han Wang, Zhe Fu, Jonathan Lee +14
This paper introduces a novel control framework for Lagrangian variable speed limits in hybrid traffic flow environments utilizing automated vehicles (AVs). The framework was valid…
Reinforcement Learning Based Oscillation Dampening: Scaling up Single-Agent RL algorithms to a 100 AV highway field operational test
Kathy Jang, Nathan Lichtlé, Eugene Vinitsky +10
In this article, we explore the technical details of the reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms that were deployed in the largest field test of automated vehicles designed to smoot…
