- 用图注意力网络+强化学习建模车流动态,实时协调信号与车辆
- 比传统方法减少24.1%平均延误,交通违规降低29.2%
- 提升人车公平性至1.59,适合智能交通系统部署
管理多车道交叉口时,如何协调人类驾驶车辆(HDVs)与联网自动驾驶车辆(CAVs)是主要挑战。本文提出一种结合图注意力网络(GAT)与软演员-批评家(SAC)强化学习的新型交通信号控制框架。GAT用于建模交通流的动态图结构,捕捉车道间及信号相位间的时空依赖关系;SAC作为鲁棒的离线策略强化学习算法,通过熵优化决策实现自适应信号控制。该设计可同步优化信号配时与车辆行驶,目标包括最小化出行时间、提升性能、保障安全及增强人车公平性。在基于SUMO的四向交叉口仿真中,测试了不同交通密度和CAV渗透率下的表现。结果表明,与传统方法相比,GAT-SAC方案使平均延迟降低24.1%,交通违规减少最多达29.2%,人车公平性比率提升至1.59,证明其在混合自主交通系统中具有显著潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
One of the main challenges in managing traffic at multilane intersections is ensuring smooth coordination between human-driven vehicles (HDVs) and connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs). This paper presents a novel traffic signal control framework that combines Graph Attention Networks (GAT) with Soft Actor-Critic (SAC) reinforcement learning to address this challenge. GATs are used to model the dynamic graph- structured nature of traffic flow to capture spatial and temporal dependencies between lanes and signal phases. The proposed SAC is a robust off-policy reinforcement learning algorithm that enables adaptive signal control through entropy-optimized decision making. This design allows the system to coordinate the signal timing and vehicle movement simultaneously with objectives focused on minimizing travel time, enhancing performance, ensuring safety, and improving fairness between HDVs and CAVs. The model is evaluated using a SUMO-based simulation of a four-way intersection and incorporating different traffic densities and CAV penetration rates. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the GAT-SAC approach by achieving a 24.1% reduction in average delay and up to 29.2% fewer traffic violations compared to traditional methods. Additionally, the fairness ratio between HDVs and CAVs improved to 1.59, indicating more equitable treatment across vehicle types. These findings suggest that the GAT-SAC framework holds significant promise for real-world deployment in mixed-autonomy traffic systems.
