Reinforcement Learning Based Oscillation Dampening: Scaling up Single-Agent RL algorithms to a 100 AV highway field operational test

no code implementations26 Feb 2024 Kathy Jang, Nathan Lichtlé, Eugene Vinitsky, Adit Shah, Matthew Bunting, Matthew Nice, Benedetto Piccoli, Benjamin Seibold, Daniel B. Work, Maria Laura Delle Monache, Jonathan Sprinkle, Jonathan W. Lee, Alexandre M. Bayen

In this article, we explore the technical details of the reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms that were deployed in the largest field test of automated vehicles designed to smooth traffic flow in history as of 2023, uncovering the challenges and breakthroughs that come with developing RL controllers for automated vehicles.

Traffic Smoothing Controllers for Autonomous Vehicles Using Deep Reinforcement Learning and Real-World Trajectory Data

no code implementations18 Jan 2024 Nathan Lichtlé, Kathy Jang, Adit Shah, Eugene Vinitsky, Jonathan W. Lee, Alexandre M. Bayen

Finally, we analyze the smoothing effect of the controllers and demonstrate robustness to adding lane-changing into the simulation as well as the removal of downstream information.

Integrated Framework of Vehicle Dynamics, Instabilities, Energy Models, and Sparse Flow Smoothing Controllers

no code implementations22 Apr 2021 Jonathan W. Lee, George Gunter, Rabie Ramadan, Sulaiman Almatrudi, Paige Arnold, John Aquino, William Barbour, Rahul Bhadani, Joy Carpio, Fang-Chieh Chou, Marsalis Gibson, Xiaoqian Gong, Amaury Hayat, Nour Khoudari, Abdul Rahman Kreidieh, Maya Kumar, Nathan Lichtlé, Sean McQuade, Brian Nguyen, Megan Ross, Sydney Truong, Eugene Vinitsky, Yibo Zhao, Jonathan Sprinkle, Benedetto Piccoli, Alexandre M. Bayen, Daniel B. Work, Benjamin Seibold

This work presents an integrated framework of: vehicle dynamics models, with a particular attention to instabilities and traffic waves; vehicle energy models, with particular attention to accurate energy values for strongly unsteady driving profiles; and sparse Lagrangian controls via automated vehicles, with a focus on controls that can be executed via existing technology such as adaptive cruise control systems.
