Abstract:
This paper presents a method using Visible Light Communication (VLC) to improve traffic signal efficiency and manage vehicle trajectories at urban intersections. It combines VLC localization services with learning-based traffic signal control for a multi-intersection traffic system. VLC enables communication between vehicles and infrastructure, aiding in joint transmission and data collection. The system aims to reduce waiting times for pedestrians and vehicles while enhancing safety. It's flexible, adapting to various traffic movements during signal phases. Cooperative mechanisms balance traffic flow between intersections, improving road network performance. Evaluated using the SUMO urban mobility simulator, it shows reduced waiting and travel times. An agent based scheme optimizes traffic signal scheduling based on VLC behaviors. The proposed approach is decentralized and scalable, suitable for real-world traffic scenarios.
