Modeling adaptive platoon and reservation based autonomous intersection control: a deep reinforcement learning approach by Li, Duowei, Wu, Jianping, Zhu, Feng, Chen, Tianyi, Wong, Yiik Diew

“…The model framework has following two levels: the first level adopts a First Come First Serve (FCFS) reservation based policy integrated with a nonconflicting lane selection mechanism to determine vehicles’ passing priority; and the second level applies a deep Q-network algorithm to identify the optimal platoon size based on the real-time traffic condition of an intersection. When being tested on a traffic micro-simulator, our proposed model exhibits superior performances on travel efficiency and fuel conservation as compared to the state-of-the-art methods.…”
