arXiv:2606. 10129v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While deep Reinforcement Learning (deep-RL) has been increasingly applied to parameter control in evolutionary algorithms, rigorous theoretical analysis of parameter control remains largely restricted to single-parameter settings, owing to the difficulty of deriving effective, interpretable multi-parameter policies amenable to formal study.

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.

The paper introduces Q-learning Penalized Transformer (QPT), a training–inference consistent framework for safe offline reinforcement learning. QPT trains a Transformer policy that generates actions conditioned on trajectory context and target return/cost while incorporating a Q-shaped penalty to balance safety, reward maximization, and behavior regularization. The method consistently outperforms strong baselines on 38 DSRL benchmark tasks and adapts robustly to varying constraint thresholds.
