Many existing approaches suffer from low transferability and rely heavily on precise estimation of network parameters such as critical accumulation. This study introduces a data-driven, cordon-based pricing framework using reinforcement learning to optimise traffic flow and address these limitations. A multi-modal, trip-based Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) simulation has been developed, capable of capturing individual mode choice decisions. Traveller heterogeneity is addressed through variations in origin and destination, trip length, departure time, and value of time (VoT). To establish a tolling strategy that maximises network outflow (minimises total travel time) and proactively addresses traffic congestion, a Double Deep Q-Network (DDQN) agent has been introduced. Remarkably, without prior knowledge of network parameters, the agent successfully regulates car accumulation at critical levels to maximise network outflow. Sensitivity analysis reveals that even with a 20% margin of error in input data, the agent remains effective in mitigating congestion. Additionally, the agent’s transferability has been evaluated under various traffic conditions and dynamics by introducing different demand profiles and MFD coefficients, demonstrating robust performance. Benchmark comparisons with a feedback controller across all scenarios further confirm that the DDQN agent consistently outperforms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54417,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part C-Emerging Technologies","volume":"177 ","pages":"Article 105166"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144147321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The concept of regret additionally enables evaluating the quality of the SDDP decisions, rarely addressed in the literature. We carried out experiments and evaluated our results against other cut removal strategies and stopping criteria reported in the literature. Our results first show that the SDDP algorithm is a good approach to solve the CSSAP under different contexts yielding good-quality solutions in a reasonable time. Second, some of the new variants we propose outperform existing ones and this is mostly due to the new techniques we propose to remove what we call the detrimental cuts.

Although researchers have proposed joint optimization of vehicle trajectories and traffic signals in fully connected environments to exploit these benefits, the advantages of CAVs still need to be examined in mixed traffic scenarios. To fully realize the benefits of CAVs at intersections with mixed traffic flow, this study proposes an innovative approach known as the mixed platoon and intersection coordination strategy. Specifically, the mixed platoon and intersection coordination strategy refers to constructing a formation area and a speed planning area at the intersection, achieving mixed multi-vehicle formation and right-of-way conflict resolution. However, the mixed traffic consisting of CAV and HDV is a partially controllable system. Therefore, we propose a bi-level control framework where the upper-level determines the right-of-way for traffic demands from different directions while the lower-level implements speed planning for CAVs. To efficiently assess the available crossing span for vehicles and calculate their acceleration, we propose a mixed traffic resource allocation algorithm in conjunction with a reinforcement learning-based speed planning algorithm. Simulation experiments demonstrate that the proposed strategy can rapidly identify available crossing spans for vehicles and guide them to the intersection in their target states. Compared to traditional intersection control methods, the proposed approach enhances traffic system efficiency, increasing effectiveness as the penetration rate of CAVs rises.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54417,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part C-Emerging Technologies","volume":"177 ","pages":"Article 105184"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144124135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A Risk-Quantification based longitudinal planning Model using EORI (ERQM) and an EORI-Based Lane Change model (ELC) are proposed. Unlike conventional models that rely on lane markings to first identify the preceding vehicle, ERQM prioritizes the vehicle presenting the highest risk as the focal object for car-following, allowing it to proactively detect and respond to vehicles that show potential for cutting in. Its mapping relationship between longitudinal steady-state speed and risk offers a novel potential approach for future lane width settings. Besides, ELC dynamically changes the risk search range during the vehicle lane change process, and makes lane change decisions based on EORI. As a model-driven and parameter-free model, ELC enables lane change decisions, duration determination, and trajectory generation. Simulation experiments validate ERQM’s capability to prevent collisions induced by cut-in to a certain extent. Moreover, within the segments selected from the NGSIM dataset, the combination of ERQM and ELC completes lane change with a high success rate, producing more comfortable lane change trajectories. The results demonstrate that EORI effectively represents risk under lane line constraints.

Research on mixed traffic control often assumes that CAV trajectories can be fully controlled by traffic controllers or that their trajectory planning strategies are known. However, this assumption may not hold in the near term due to limitations in communication technology or concerns over data privacy. In recent years, several studies have addressed traffic control while considering the uncontrollability of CAVs and the limitations of available CAV information. However, these studies typically focus on isolated intersections or the fully CAV environment. This study introduces a hybrid-phase-enabled multi-mode-band-based (HPMM-based) traffic control for arterials with CAV-dedicated lanes in the mixed traffic environment with CAVs and RVs. In this study, CAVs are not controlled by traffic controllers and conduct trajectory planning themselves, which are called self-organized CAVs. For simplicity, they are referred to as CAVs throughout this paper. There are dedicated lanes for CAVs in each arm at each intersection along the arterial. In the proposed model, left-turn and through CAVs share CAV-dedicated lanes and cross the intersection during the shared phases using the standard NEMA ring barrier structure with RVs or during the CAV-dedicated phase. A two-level hierarchical optimization model is developed, which consists of the arterial and the intersection levels. The arterial level introduces a multi-mode-band model to address the signal coordination challenge for arterials with multiple phases (i.e., shared phases and CAV-dedicated phases) and multiple modes (i.e., CAVs and RVs) and CAV-dedicated lanes in the mixed traffic environment. The model is formulated as a mixed integer linear programming problem to maximize weighted bandwidth for CAVs and RVs. At the intersection level, a three-sub-level model optimizes signal timings based on the estimation of RV queue lengths and prediction of CAV passing states without directly controlling CAV trajectories or assuming prior knowledge of their trajectory planning strategies, and a rolling horizon scheme is designed. Numerical results demonstrate the proposed HPMM control framework outperforms existing methods under distinct scenarios: it reduces average vehicle delay and unnecessary stops compared to max-pressure-blue-phase-based control in under-saturated traffic, and surpasses normal control (which lacks CAV-dedicated lane and phase) when CAV penetration rates exceed 10%.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54417,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part C-Emerging Technologies","volume":"177 ","pages":"Article 105177"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144115608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

EVCHs are locally concentrated clusters of charging infrastructure, e.g. in large parking lots, and are often integrated with on-site generation, storage and adjacent building infrastructure. Planning such complex operational systems over a multi-year investment horizon represents a high-dimensional, dynamic and stochastic decision problem. Such planning problems typically rely on mathematical optimization frameworks which are subject to computational challenges (e.g., NP-hardness) that can limit scalability to practical system sizes. As a result, simplifying assumptions related to, for example, temporal granularity, operational detail, system size, decision horizon or stochasticity are required to achieve tractability. Modern reinforcement learning (RL) approaches, in combination with fine-grained data-driven simulation frameworks, also known as Digital Twins (DTs), may circumvent these shortcomings. We develop a scalable soft actor-critic (SAC) reinforcement learning method, that learns near-optimal EVCH configurations against a minimum cost objective. Our method uses a highly detailed DT of the EVCH environment that is bootstrapped with unique real-world sensor data from parking lots, charging stations, office buildings, and solar generation facilities, along with microscopic simulations of practical parking and charging policies. In extensive computational experiments, we provide empirical evidence that the proposed SAC RL algorithm converges closely to the global optimum (4%–15% gap) outperforming alternative popular RL approaches such as Deep Q Networks (DQN) and Deep Deterministic Policy Gradients (DDPG). We also demonstrate the superior scalability characteristic of our method to real-world problem sizes of up to 1000 charging spots.

Under the context of a long-haul mixed operation of autonomous vehicles and human-driven vehicles, this paper focuses on profit-maximizing pricing for both demand and supply sides, in which the prices are differentiated by service type, time, and location. Diverging from most studies limited to centralized control for small-scale problems, we align with distributed and scalable requirements in practice and tackle the coordination challenge from a causal communication perspective. Based on the spatial supply–demand interdependencies inherent in the ride-sourcing market, operation areas are modeled as collaborative intelligent agents. The pricing problem is formulated as a decentralized partially observable Markov game augmented with neighborhood communication. Then a multi-agent reinforcement learning with causal communication method is developed to jointly optimize pricing policy and communication mechanism through end-to-end learning. The bidirectional communication mechanism is ensured to be effective and succinct by maximizing the causal effect of the communication message. Leveraging theoretical analysis, the proposed method is proven to cope with partial observability and non-stationary environments through collaborative communication. Besides, an agent-based simulator for mixed autonomy mobility is established on a real-world large-scale network, emulating the causal communication process among decentralized areas, as well as the heterogeneity, elasticity, and uncertainty of ride-sourcing demand and supply. Two representative scenarios are designed to demonstrate the dynamic evolutions of mixed autonomy mobility: (a) smaller-sized autonomous vehicles and conservative passenger acceptance (conservative stage), and (b) larger-sized autonomous vehicles and liberal passenger acceptance (liberal stage).

To address this challenge, a method based on Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) was used for data imputation, leveraging their advantage in handling heterogeneous data. An evaluation of the performance of our proposed data imputation approach was performed by comparing it with two established methods, namely conventional case deletion and Random Forest (RF) imputation.
