Abstract
Variable Speed Limit (VSL) is a commonly applied active traffic management measure for urban motorways. In recent years, model-based and model-free approaches have been extensively adopted to solve VSL optimization problems. However, the success of model-based VSL relies heavily on the nature of the environmental model adopted (e.g., traffic flow model). Implicit environment models may result in inappropriate control actions. Although model-free approaches are able to directly map raw measurements to control actions without a need for an environment model, they usually require large amounts of training data. In order to address these issues, we propose an Imagination-Augmented Agent (I2A) for VSL control. The I2A consists an imagination path and a model-free path, which work together to generate appropriate control actions. The simulation results show that the proposed I2A agent outperforms other tested Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents in terms of Total Time Spent and bottleneck volume.
