Deep Reinforcement Learning applied to Bus Fleets and High-Speed Flows

Two recent arXiv papers explore the application of deep reinforcement learning (DRL) in complex control scenarios. The first paper details a single-agent RL framework for bus fleet control, which reformulates the problem into a high-dimensional state space to capture inter-agent dependencies and uses a novel reward function for stable performance. The second paper discusses the potential and challenges of DRL for high-speed flow control, highlighting the need for physics-aware learning, robustness, and validation to translate DRL capabilities into reliable technology.
