RideSkill: A Hierarchical Algorithm for Generalized Ride Sharing with LLM-Driven Automatic Evolution

RideSkill is a hierarchical algorithm for generalized ride sharing that uses large language models (LLMs) to automatically design and train a skill repository, a combiner, and a repositioner. The combiner assigns vehicle-specific skills for adaptive dispatch across varying scenarios and objectives, while the repositioner moves idle vehicles to emerging regions to avoid conflicts. By training all components via an LLM-based evolutionary method, RideSkill eliminates the need for real-time LLM calls, enabling high-performance deployment in large-scale systems.

OpenHail: An Event-Driven Gymnasium Environment for Electric Ride-Hailing Fleet Control

OpenHail is an open-source Gymnasium environment designed for controlling electric ride‑hailing fleets. It offers a fixed‑size observation–action interface that handles request assignment, repositioning, and charging, while its event‑driven simulator models pickup deadlines, vehicle job queues, battery dynamics, and finite‑capacity charging facilities with FIFO queues. The environment supports various decision‑epoch mechanisms—event‑driven, periodic, hybrid, and policy‑requested—allowing flexible policy interactions within a unified operational model, and includes tools for evaluation, metrics, and baseline policies.

Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning for V2X Resource Allocation: Disentangling MARL Challenges Through Benchmarking

arXiv:2603. 06607v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Radio resource allocation (RRA) is a critical function in cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) networks, where vehicles must share limited wireless resources to support safety-critical communications.

A Distributionally Robust Reinforcement Learning Framework for Constrained Urban EV Dispatch

arXiv:2604. 25848v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study city-scale control of electric-vehicle (EV) ride-hailing fleets where dispatch, repositioning, and charging decisions must respect charger and feeder limits under uncertain, spatially correlated demand and travel times.

Learn2Drive: A neural network-based framework for socially compliant automated vehicle control

The paper presents Learn2Drive, a neural‑network‑based framework for socially compliant adaptive cruise control in automated vehicles. It incorporates social value orientation to let AVs consider their impact on human‑driven vehicles and overall traffic flow, aiming to reduce congestion and improve efficiency. Numerical experiments show that shifting the AV’s objective from personal energy savings to collective traffic flow can boost downstream vehicle speeds by over 38% and dampen traffic oscillations.
