Title: Designing Optimal Personalized Incentive for Traffic Routing using BIG Hype algorithm
Authors: Panagiotis D. Grontas, Carlo Cenedese, Marta Fochesato, Giuseppe Belgioioso, John Lygeros, Florian D\"orfler
Abstract summary: We study the problem of optimally routing plug-in electric and conventional fuel vehicles on a city level. In our model, commuters selfishly aim to minimize a local cost that combines travel time, and the monetary cost of using city facilities, parking or service stations. We formalize the problem of designing these monetary incentives optimally as a large-scale bilevel game.

Abstract: We study the problem of optimally routing plug-in electric and conventional fuel vehicles on a city level. In our model, commuters selfishly aim to minimize a local cost that combines travel time, from a fixed origin to a desired destination, and the monetary cost of using city facilities, parking or service stations. The traffic authority can influence the commuters' preferred routing choice by means of personalized discounts on parking tickets and on the energy price at service stations. We formalize the problem of designing these monetary incentives optimally as a large-scale bilevel game, where constraints arise at both levels due to the finite capacities of city facilities and incentives budget. Then, we develop an efficient decentralized solution scheme with convergence guarantees based on BIG Hype, a recently-proposed hypergradient-based algorithm for hierarchical games. Finally, we validate our model via numerical simulations over the Anaheim's network, and show that the proposed approach produces sensible results in terms of traffic decongestion and it is able to solve in minutes problems with more than 48000 variables and 110000 constraints.

A Bi-Objective Approach to Last-Mile Delivery Routing Considering Driver Preferences [42.16665455951525]
The Multi-Objective Vehicle Routing Problem (MOVRP) is a complex optimization problem in the transportation and logistics industry. This paper proposes a novel approach to the MOVRP that aims to create routes that consider drivers' and operators' decisions and preferences. We evaluate two approaches to address this objective: visually attractive route planning and data mining of historical driver behavior to plan similar routes.

Fair collaborative vehicle routing: A deep multi-agent reinforcement learning approach [49.00137468773683]
Collaborative vehicle routing occurs when carriers collaborate through sharing their transportation requests and performing transportation requests on behalf of each other. Traditional game theoretic solution concepts are expensive to calculate as the characteristic function scales exponentially with the number of agents. We propose to model this problem as a coalitional bargaining game solved using deep multi-agent reinforcement learning.

Movement Penalized Bayesian Optimization with Application to Wind Energy Systems [84.7485307269572]
Contextual Bayesian optimization (CBO) is a powerful framework for sequential decision-making given side information. In this setting, the learner receives context (e.g., weather conditions) at each round, and has to choose an action (e.g., turbine parameters) Standard algorithms assume no cost for switching their decisions at every round, but in many practical applications, there is a cost associated with such changes, which should be minimized.

Learning-Based Path Planning for Long-Range Autonomous Valet Parking [37.70834223132688]
Long-range autonomous valet parking (LAVP) is presented. An Electric Autonomous Vehicle (EAV) is deployed in the city, which can pick up, drop off users at their required spots, and then drive to the car park out of city center autonomously. We propose a learning based algorithm, which is named as Double-Layer Ant Colony Optimization (DL-ACO) algorithm.

Incentivizing Efficient Equilibria in Traffic Networks with Mixed Autonomy [17.513581783749707]
Vehicle platooning can potentially reduce traffic congestion by increasing road capacity via vehicle platooning. We consider a network of parallel roads with two modes of transportation: (i) human drivers, who will choose the quickest route available to them, and (ii) a ride hailing service, which provides an array of autonomous vehicle route options, each with different prices, to users. We formalize a model of vehicle flow in mixed autonomy and a model of how autonomous service users make choices between routes with different prices and latencies.
