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

The paper presents a modeling and simulation framework to study reinforcement learning (RL) control of connected and automated vehicle (CAV) platoon joining maneuvers in mixed traffic. Using SUMO and agent-based modeling, it evaluates Deep Q-Network (DQN), Double DQN (DDQN), and Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) algorithms, finding that PPO achieves a 98 % joining success rate with less than 1 % collision rate by incorporating risk penalties. The study also shows a trade‑off between safety, joining effectiveness, and decision efficiency, and demonstrates that an external safety controller can prevent collisions but may reduce joining efficiency.

Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning from Delayed Marketplace Feedback for Objective-Weight Adaptation in Three-Sided Dispatch

Dispatch in three-sided marketplaces provides a natural setting for reinforcement learning from world feedback: decisions are evaluated by delayed operational outcomes such as delivery speed, courier utilization, and merchant congestion. We present a deployed reinforcement learning system at DoorDash that adapts dispatch objective weights in a large-scale food-delivery marketplace using delayed signals.

Spatio-temporal dual-stage hypergraph MARL for human-centric multimodal corridor traffic signal control

The paper introduces STDSH-MARL, a multi-agent deep reinforcement learning framework that uses a dual-stage hypergraph attention mechanism to capture spatio-temporal dependencies in corridor traffic signal control. It employs a hybrid discrete action space to jointly set signal phase configurations and green durations, allowing more adaptive timing. Experiments on a corridor network show that STDSH-MARL outperforms state‑of‑the‑art baselines, notably reducing tram waiting times while balancing overall network efficiency, tram priority, and bus service quality.
