• Authors: Lei Li, Mengxuan Zhang, Zizhuo Xu, Yehong Xu, XIaofang Zhou,
• Abstract summary: We propose a next-generation routing paradigm that could reduce traffic congestion by considering the influence of the routing results in real-time. To implement such a system, we identify three essential components: 1) the traffic condition simulation that establishes the relation between traffic flow and traffic condition with guaranteed accuracy; 2) the future route management that supports efficient simulation with dynamic route update; and 3) the global routing optimization that improves the overall transportation system efficiency.

• Abstract: The routing results are playing an increasingly important role in transportation efficiency, but they could generate traffic congestion unintentionally. This is because the traffic condition and routing system are disconnected components in the current routing paradigm. In this paper, we propose a next-generation routing paradigm that could reduce traffic congestion by considering the influence of the routing results in real-time. Specifically, we regard the routing results as the root cause of the future traffic flow, which at the same time is identified as the root cause of traffic conditions. To implement such a system, we identify three essential components: 1) the traffic condition simulation that establishes the relation between traffic flow and traffic condition with guaranteed accuracy; 2) the future route management that supports efficient simulation with dynamic route update; 3) the global routing optimization that improves the overall transportation system efficiency. Preliminary design and experimental results will be presented, and the corresponding challenges and research directions will also be discussed.

Simulation results demonstrate that both RL algorithms significantly outperform conventional traffic signal control systems.
