OverFlowLight: Real-Time Gridlock Prevention and Traffic Signal Optimization for Urban Intersections

arXiv:2606. 27381v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Queue overflow, a severe consequence of urban traffic congestion, occurs when vehicle queues exceed intersection capacity, obstructing upstream traffic and triggering cascading gridlocks.

Reinforcement Learning-Based Control of CAV Platoon Joining Maneuvers in Mixed Traffic

The paper presents a modeling and simulation framework to study reinforcement‑learning control of connected and automated vehicle (CAV) platoon joining maneuvers in mixed traffic. It evaluates Deep Q‑Network, Double Deep Q‑Network, and Proximal Policy Optimization algorithms, finding that PPO achieves a 98 % joining success rate with less than 1 % collisions by incorporating risk penalties, though it requires more decision steps. An external safety controller can prevent collisions but may reduce joining efficiency, highlighting a trade‑off between safety, effectiveness, and decision speed.

SIGMA: Symmetry-aware, Intelligent, Geometric, Multi-objective Adaptive Control for Robust, Dependable Traffic Management

SIGMA is a reinforcement‑learning framework for traffic signal control that incorporates a large language model to adaptively tune multiple objectives based on natural‑language emergency commands. It uses rotational data augmentation to learn orientation‑invariant policies and an offline‑to‑online training pipeline to ensure stable deployment. Experiments in SUMO on four Kolkata intersections show that SIGMA reduces waiting times, queue lengths, and improves throughput compared to fixed‑time, actuated, and DQN baselines, with ablation studies confirming robustness to component failures and geometric rotations.

QoS-Aware Federated Learning for Multimodal In-Cabin Interaction in Smart Vehicles

The paper introduces FedQoS, an asynchronous federated learning framework designed for multimodal in‑cabin interaction in smart vehicles. It uses a two‑phase gating mechanism: a resource‑aware training gate that starts local learning only when sensing buffers and energy reserves meet safety thresholds, and a QoS‑aware transmission policy that gates uplink updates based on an efficiency score balancing model novelty, latency, and energy costs. Experiments on vehicular datasets show FedQoS achieves competitive personalized accuracy with only marginal loss compared to FedAvg, while reducing communication overhead by 76.7% and latency cost by 26.0%.
