Abstract: Traffic light systems in cities are a very important topic to study due to many challenges such as traffic congestion, traffic accidents and gridlock. In this contribution, we propose a new model for traffic flow in city networks based on cellular automata and deep reinforcement learning, modifying the basic ideas of the most known Biham, Middleton and Levine (BML) model [1]. We show that the traditional BML model can be formulated as a Markov Decision Process. And using the deep Q-learning [2] our approach learns policies that can minimize the traffic jam at a group of intersections. An ...
