Centralized and Decentralized Signal Control with Short-Term Origin-Destination Demand for Network Traffic
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We develop and assess centralized and decentralized signal control systems with short-term origin-destination (OD) demands as inputs. Considering each intersection turning movement as a virtual link, we assign traffic demand to paths based on minimal instantaneous travel time. Then, the optimal control is formulated using a G/G/n/FIFO open queueing network model (QNM). We also solve the issue of optimal control using a three-step naïve method for the centralized system with the new inputs. Because the optimization of large-scale network traffic signals can involve sizeable numbers of decision variables and nonlinear constraints, making it a nondeterministic polynomial time (NP) complete problem, we further decompose the centralized system into a decentralized system where the network is divided into subnetworks. Each subnetwork has a dedicated agent that optimizes signals within it. Furthermore, traffic demand for the entire network is decomposed into demands for subnetworks via path decomposition index (PDI). The proposed control systems are applied to test scenarios constructed using different demand profiles in grid networks. We also investigate the impact of network decomposition strategy on signal control system performance. Results show that network decomposition with smaller subnetworks results in less computational time (CT) but increased average travel time (ATT) and total travel delay (TTD).

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
