We model each ride-pooling vehicle as an agent governed by a Markov Decision Process (MDP), which includes a state for each agent encompassing the vehicle’s location, the number of vacant seats, and all pertinent information regarding the passengers on board. We propose an offline training and online fine-tuning RL framework to learn the optimal operational decisions of the multimodal transportation systems, including rider-vehicle matching, selection of drop-off locations for passengers, and vehicle routing decisions, with improved data efficiency. During the offline training phase, we develop a Conservative Double Deep Q Network (CDDQN) as the action executor and a supervised learning-based reward estimator, termed the Guider Network, to extract valuable insights into action-reward relationships from data batches. In the online fine-tuning phase, the Guider Network serves as an exploration guide, aiding CDDQN in effectively and conservatively exploring unknown state–action pairs to bridge the gap between the conservative offline training and optimistic online fine-tuning. The efficacy of our algorithm is demonstrated through a realistic case study using real-world data from Manhattan. We show that integrating ride-pooling with public transit outperforms two benchmark cases—solo rides coordinated with transit and ride-pooling without transit coordination—by 17% and 22% in the achieved system rewards, respectively. Furthermore, our innovative offline training and online fine-tuning framework offers a remarkable 81.3% improvement in data efficiency compared to traditional online RL methods with adequate exploration budgets, with a 4.3% increase in total rewards and a 5.6% reduction in overestimation errors. Experimental results further demonstrate that RG-CQL effectively addresses the challenges of transitioning from offline to online RL in large-scale ride-pooling systems integrated with transit.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54417,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part C-Emerging Technologies","volume":"174 ","pages":"Article 105051"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143610246","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}

Traffic prediction is crucial for advanced traffic management systems, with deep learning approaches showing exceptional performance. However, most existing approaches assume sensors are deployed at all locations of interest, which is impractical due to financial constraints. Furthermore, these methods are typically fragile to structural changes in sensing networks, which require costly retraining even for minor changes in sensor configuration. To address these challenges, we propose MoGERNN, an inductive spatio-temporal graph model with two key components: (i) a Mixture of Graph Experts (MoGE) with sparse gating mechanisms that dynamically route nodes to specialized graph aggregators, capturing heterogeneous spatial dependencies efficiently; (ii) a graph encoder-decoder architecture that leverages these embeddings to capture both spatial and temporal dependencies for comprehensive traffic state prediction. Experiments on two real-world datasets show MoGERNN consistently outperforms baseline methods for both observed and unobserved locations. MoGERNN can accurately predict congestion evolution even in areas without sensors, offering valuable information for traffic management. Moreover, MoGERNN is adaptable to the changes of sensor network, maintaining competitive performance even compared to its retrained counterpart.

Advances in deep learning have promoted the development of traffic prediction. However, some traditional prediction methods primarily rely on historical traffic data to sequentially predict future traffic trends. While some also incorporate one or more influencing factors, such as weather and day of the week, as covariates, they often lack a unified fusion approach to model the impact of these covariates on future traffic states, and they are prone to error accumulation in long-term predictions. To address these challenges, we propose TSGDiff, a novel traffic state generative diffusion model using multi-source information fusion. The proposed method leverages an innovative diffusion model framework and integrates various sources of information, such as traffic data, weather, and weekdays, to enhance the accuracy of traffic state prediction. TSGDiff transforms historical spatiotemporal information and future environment information into feature representations using an attention-based spatiotemporal extraction module and a traffic semantic encoding module, respectively. These feature representations serve as guiding conditions for the diffusion model to generate traffic states. By incorporating the prediction horizon as an input parameter, TSGDiff directly generates future traffic states point-to-point, thereby avoiding error accumulation inherent in iterative prediction methods. To adapt the diffusion model to graph structure road network data, we introduce a Graph Attention U-Net (GAUNet) to capture the spatial correlations in traffic data.

Based on this consideration, this paper investigates the influence of single-step toll strategy on household trips using the ADL model and the braking model. The optimal school-work time gap, optimal toll value and optimal toll interval are obtained for optimizing the total system travel cost.

Therefore, management insights can be derived, in which traffic authorities should set proper staggering hours, toll price and interval, as well as cultivate proper travel habits of household travelers, thereby helping to reduce road congestion and improve social welfare.

Multi-agent deep reinforcement learning exhibits significant advantages, such as fast response, high flexibility, strong adaptability, low computational burden, and collaborative optimization. These features enable it to achieve superior efficiency and robustness in handling dynamically changing traffic environments and large-scale traffic control problems. Inspired by this, we propose a novel Integrated Traffic Control (ITC) strategy based on an Improved Multi-Agent Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (IPMATD3) algorithm in the mixed traffic environment (abbreviated as IPMATD3-based ITC). Specifically, the proposed IPMATD3-based ITC approach seeks to coordinate multiple Ramp Metering (RM) and Variable Speed Limit (VSL) controllers along a freeway corridor, with the objectives of improving traffic mobility and efficiency, enhancing safety, and reducing emissions. The proposed method utilized a centralized training with decentralized execution paradigm to learn the joint actions of all traffic controllers in a high-dimensional state and action spaces. A hybrid reward function is developed by synchronously considering the above objectives to optimize traffic control performance. Then, the rank-based prioritized experience replay mechanism is incorporated into the conventional MATD3 algorithm to improve learning efficiency. A real-world freeway corridor is selected to test the proposed control method. Moreover, its performance is compared with the several state-of-the-art methods. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves remarkable control performance at a 10% CAV Penetration Rate (PR), effectively reducing the spatiotemporal extent of freeway traffic congestion. The proposed method outperforms other approaches in improving freeway traffic efficiency, mobility, safety, and environmental sustainability.

However, current traffic risk assessment models struggle to accurately measure the dynamic risk caused by the driver, limiting their applicability in increasingly complex driving environments. Based on the artificial potential field theory, the paper begins its investigation with the driver’s risk perception-response mechanism, and incorporates the effects of risk gain and attenuation to develop a driving behavior dynamic risk quantification model (behavior field). This model is then superimposed with enhanced kinetic and potential fields to construct a real-time synthesized driving risk quantification model under the dynamic coupling of the driver-vehicle–road system, which is validated in various traffic scenarios. The results suggest that: (a) The driving behavior dynamic risk quantification model accurately represents the underlying risks during the driver’s perception, judgment, and decision-making phases. It effectively captures the risk differences between different traffic scenarios and drivers, demonstrating high applicability and sensitivity. (b) The kinetic and potential fields that account for the risk diffusion effect are more consistent with the actual risk distribution characteristics. They can also efficiently represent the risk evolution patterns of influencing factors across diverse scenarios. (c) Compared with the conventional driving safety field and risk evaluation metrics (e.g., steering entropy, jerk, and time to collision), the synthesized driving risk real-time quantification model effectively captures the dynamic coupling of objective traffic environment risks and subjective driving behavior risks on a multidimensional spatiotemporal scale. It provides more robust risk prediction results (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.988, root mean square error = 0.007).
