Abstract

Traffic congestion is a complex, vexing, and growing issue day by day in most urban areas worldwide. The integration of the newly emerging deep learning approach and the traditional reinforcement learning approach has created an advanced approach called deep reinforcement learning (DRL) that has shown promising results in solving high-dimensional and complex problems, including traffic congestion. This article presents a review of the attributes of traffic signal control (TSC), as well as DRL architectures and methods applied to TSC, which helps to understand how DRL has been applied to address traffic congestion and achieve performance enhancement. The review also covers simulation platforms, a complexity analysis, as well as guidelines and design considerations for the application of DRL to TSC. Finally, this article presents open issues and new research areas with the objective to spark new interest in this research field. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first review article that focuses on the application of DRL to TSC.
