New reward function improves traffic signal control for lower emissions

Researchers have developed a new Momentum-Based Reward Function (MBRF) for adaptive traffic signal control systems. This novel approach aims to improve urban traffic flow and reduce emissions by encouraging continuous vehicle movement, rather than solely penalizing congestion. Evaluations in the SUMO simulation environment indicate that MBRF leads to better trade-offs between throughput and emissions, alongside more stable learning behaviors compared to traditional delay or queue-based rewards and classical control methods.
