用多跳交通压力优化城市区域入口流量,提升拥堵不均时的控制效果。
Generalized Multi-hop Traffic Pressure for Heterogeneous Traffic Perimeter Control
- 基于马尔可夫链构建多跳下游压力度量,突破单点观测局限。
- 在起终点流量严重失衡场景下,相比同质控制性能提升显著。
- 对转向比例不确定性强鲁棒,适合复杂城市交通管控应用。
围界控制(PC)可防止城市区域因拥堵导致的网络容量损失。同质围界控制要求所有进入受保护区域的接入点具有相同的允许流入量,但在受保护区域存在空间异质性拥堵(如需求不平衡)时表现不佳,因其未考虑各围界交叉口周边的具体交通状况。当受保护区域存在空间异质性拥堵时,应使低密度区域附近的流入率更高,高密度区域则更低。朴素方法使用1跳交通压力来衡量围界交叉口周围的交通状况,但该指标过于局部化。为此,本文基于马尔可夫链理论提出多跳下游压力,能“更深入”地探测围界交叉口之外的受保护区域内部状况。此外,本文设计了一种两阶段分层控制框架,可利用该新型多跳压力重新分配由预训练深度强化学习同质控制策略提供的总允许流入量。实验结果表明,在起终点流量高度失衡且空间异质性高的场景中,基于多跳压力的异质围界控制显著优于同质控制。此外,敏感性分析显示该方法对转向比例不确定性具有强鲁棒性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Perimeter control (PC) prevents loss of traffic network capacity due to congestion in urban areas. Homogeneous PC allows all access points to a protected region to have identical permitted inflow. However, homogeneous PC performs poorly when the congestion in the protected region is heterogeneous (e.g., imbalanced demand) since the homogeneous PC does not consider specific traffic conditions around each perimeter intersection. When the protected region has spatially heterogeneous congestion, one needs to modulate the perimeter inflow rate to be higher near low-density regions and vice versa for high-density regions. A naïve approach is to leverage 1-hop traffic pressure to measure traffic condition around perimeter intersections, but such metric is too spatially myopic for PC. To address this issue, we formulate multi-hop downstream pressure grounded on Markov chain theory, which ``looks deeper'' into the protected region beyond perimeter intersections. In addition, we formulate a two-stage hierarchical control scheme that can leverage this novel multi-hop pressure to redistribute the total permitted inflow provided by a pre-trained deep reinforcement learning homogeneous control policy. Experimental results show that our heterogeneous PC approaches leveraging multi-hop pressure significantly outperform homogeneous PC in scenarios where the origin-destination flows are highly imbalanced with high spatial heterogeneity. Moveover, our approach is shown to be robust against turning ratio uncertainties by a sensitivity analysis.
