Publication number: 20240038066Abstract: A multi-intelligence federated reinforcement learning (FRL)-based vehicle-road cooperative control system and method at the complex intersection use a vehicle-road cooperative control framework based on the Road Side Unit (RSU) static processing module and the vehicle-based dynamic processing module. The historical road information is supplied by the proposed RSU module. The Federated Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic policy gradient (FTD3) algorithm is proposed to connect the federated learning (FL) module and the reinforcement learning (RL) module. The FTD3 algorithm transmits only neural network parameters instead of vehicle samples to protect privacy. Firstly, FTD3 selects only specific networks for aggregation to reduce the communication cost. Secondly, FTD3 realizes the deep combination of FL and RL by aggregating target critic networks with smaller Q-values. Thirdly, RSU neural network participates in aggregation rather than training, and only shared global model parameters are used.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2022Publication date: February 1, 2024Applicant: JIANGSU UNIVERSITYInventors: Yingfeng CAI, Sikai LU, Long CHEN, Hai WANG, Chaochun YUAN, Qingchao LIU, Yicheng LI
