Abstract

This study investigates the integration of data-driven methods and multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) frameworks to enhance urban traffic management systems. The research employs a case study methodology focused on a mid-sized city, utilizing real-time traffic data to model traffic flow and agent behaviors. We present a novel MARL algorithm tailored for traffic signal control, demonstrating significant improvements in traffic throughput and reduction of congestion during peak hours. Our findings reveal that the proposed approach outperforms traditional traffic management techniques, showcasing the potential for intelligent traffic systems in modern urban planning. This work contributes to the broader field of computational science by providing insights into the intersection of AI and urban infrastructure.
