AbstractTraffic congestion is a critical problem in urban area. In this study, our objective is the control of traffic lights in an urban environment, in order to avoid traffic jams and optimize vehicle traffic; we aim to minimize the total waiting time. Our system is based on a new paradigm, which is deep reinforcement learning; it can automatically learn all the useful characteristics of traffic data and develop a strategy optimizing adaptive traffic light control. Our system is coupled to a microscopic simulator based on agents (Simulation of Urban MObility - SUMO) providing a synthetic but realistic environment in which the exploration of the results of potential regulatory actions can be carried out.
