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.
