Summary

CoTV is a multi-agent deep reinforcement learning system that cooperatively controls traffic light signals and connected autonomous vehicles in mixed-autonomy urban traffic scenarios. It was reported as a computational control method and evaluated in SUMO simulation.

Usefulness & Problems

Why this is useful

CoTV is useful for coordinated control of infrastructure and vehicles in urban traffic settings where both traffic signals and connected autonomous vehicles can be actuated. The reported system balances reductions in travel time, fuel consumption, and emissions in simulation.

Problem solved

CoTV addresses the control problem of jointly optimizing traffic light signals and connected autonomous vehicles in realistic mixed-autonomy urban scenarios. It also targets scalability in complex urban settings by limiting cooperation to one nearest connected autonomous vehicle on each incoming road.
