A Comparative Study of Algorithms for Intelligent Traffic Signal Control
In this paper, methods have been explored to effectively optimise traffic signal control to minimise waiting times and queue lengths, thereby increasing traffic flow. The traffic intersection was first defined as a Markov Decision Process, and a state representation, actions and rewards were chosen. Simulation of Urban MObility (SUMO) was used to simulate an intersection and then compare a Round Robin Scheduler, a Feedback Control mechanism and two Reinforcement Learning techniques - Deep Q Network (DQN) and Advantage Actor-Critic (A2C), as the policy for the traffic signal in the simulation under different scenarios. Finally, the methods were tested on a simulation of a real-world intersection in Bengaluru, India.
