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…
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,…
