Agent Based Real-time Signal Coordination in Congested Networks
www.purdue.edu/discoverypark/nextrans/research/research_in_progress.php
Record Type: UTC

This study is a continuation of an ongoing NEXTRANS study on agent-based reinforcement learning methods for signal coordination in congested networks. The ongoing study is a joint effort between University of Illinois and Purdue University, where each intersection is controlled by an agent and some information is shared between adjacent agents. Researchers will aim to develop a framework to study signal coordination and real-time adaptive routing within an agent based model. The agent based approach has clear advantages over more traditional approaches as the learning method does not require modeling the system and the operation is free of restrictions imposed by cycle-based strategies.
