AI framework optimizes multimodal transport with dynamic pricing and incentives

Researchers have developed a multi-agent deep reinforcement learning framework to optimize multimodal transportation systems by balancing the conflicting objectives of public authorities, shared mobility service (SMS) providers, and travelers. The system uses two agents: one for public transport incentives and another for dynamic SMS pricing. Experiments show this approach can reduce congestion, lower commuter costs and emissions, and improve public transport profitability and equity. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient and equitable urban transportation systems through AI-driven optimization.

    Dynamic multi-agent deep reinforcement learning-based pricing and incentivization approach in multimodal transportation networks

    In multimodal transportation systems, shared mobility services (SMSs) are promoted for their potential to enhance flexibility and reduce congestion. However, SMS demand is often concentrated in high-density areas, which can limit the effectiveness and accessibility for various co…
