Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning for Autonomous Traffic Management in Smart Cities

Prof. Radhima Sharma — 2024-12-11

The increasing urban population has led to significant traffic congestion, necessitating intelligent solutions for efficient traffic management. This paper presents a multi-agent reinforcement learning framework for autonomous traffic signal control in smart cities. The proposed system enables traffic lights to collaborate and adapt to real-time conditions, optimizing traffic flow and reducing delays. Each agent employs a reward mechanism based on vehicle throughput and waiting times, ensuring a balance between individual intersections and the overall network. Simulations on urban traffic datasets reveal that the framework significantly outperforms traditional fixed-timing and adaptive control systems, reducing congestion and emissions. The results demonstrate the potential of multi-agent systems to transform urban mobility and contribute to sustainable smart city development.
