Abstract

Traffic congestions often occur within the entire traffic network of the urban areas due to the increasing of traffic demands by the outnumbered vehicles on road. The problem may be solved by a good traffic signal timing plan, but unfortunately most of the timing plans available currently are not fully optimized based on the on spot traffic conditions. The incapability of the traffic intersections to learn from their past experiences has cost them the lack of ability to adapt into the dynamic changes of the traffic flow. The proposed Q-learning approach can manage the traffic signal timing plan more effectively via optimization of the traffic flows. Q-learning gains rewards from its past experiences including its future actions to learn from its experience and determine the best possible actions. The proposed learning algorithm shows a good valuable performance that able to improve the traffic signal timing plan for the dynamic traffic flows within a traffic network.
