mixed-autonomy traffic

Vehicle Platooning

advantages:

  • reduce conjection
  • greater fuel economy

hierarchical control of platoons

  • vehicle: lat and long
  • link: formulation, splitting, reordering
  • network: planning, goods assignment, etc.

Goal: can we dynamically form platoons that minimizes travel time while minimizing fuel cost?

Traffic Coordination with MARL

To coordinate UAVs, we can formulate it as a Decentralized POMDP Problem. Key insight: rollout both you and a simulation of others.

Also run MPC with trurcated rollouts

LLMs for Traffic Signal Control

LLMs for long-tail events.

  1. Run some RL thing
  2. Make LLM refine the decision
  3. Take the action
