Researchers have developed a new multi-agent deep reinforcement learning model to improve cooperative platooning for connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) in mixed traffic environments. The model, which integrates QMIX with a CNN-QMIX framework, is designed to handle varying numbers of CAVs and human-driven vehicles, optimizing lane change decisions. Evaluations in a microsimulation environment showed that this approach significantly increases cooperative platooning rates by up to 26.2% compared to traditional rule-based models, particularly during the early stages of CAV deployment.
