Urban traffic congestion control: a DeePC change

Systems and Control 2023-11-17 v1 Systems and Control Optimization and Control Machine Learning

Abstract

Urban traffic congestion remains a pressing challenge in our rapidly expanding cities, despite the abundance of available data and the efforts of policymakers. By leveraging behavioral system theory and data-driven control, this paper exploits the DeePC algorithm in the context of urban traffic control performed via dynamic traffic lights. To validate our approach, we consider a high-fidelity case study using the state-of-the-art simulation software package Simulation of Urban MObility (SUMO). Preliminary results indicate that DeePC outperforms existing approaches across various key metrics, including travel time and CO2_2 emissions, demonstrating its potential for effective traffic management
