Enabling Real-Time Phase Control in Traffic Signal Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation
Zhiyao Zhang, Gergely Zachár, William Barbour +4
Advanced Traffic Signal Control (TSC) algorithms require real-time phase control, yet existing Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation (HILS) testbeds only support pre-programmed timing pl…
Emission reduction potential of freeway stop-and-go wave smoothing
Junyi Ji, Derek Gloudemans, Gergely Zachár +4
Real-world potential of stop-and-go wave smoothing at scale remains largely unquantified. Smoothing freeway traffic waves requires creating a gap so the wave can dissipate, but the…
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…
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…
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…
