Abstract

This paper proposed an eight-phase transit signal priority control method, CBQL-TSP, based on a hybrid decision-making approach combining cooperative game theory and reinforcement learning, aiming to address the low efficiency of transit signal priority control in intelligent transportation systems. The method abstracted the allocation of bus signal priority into a multi-objective decision-making problem with an eight-phase signal sequence, refining the signal phase sequence into priority and non-priority phases, and constructing a cooperative game model. The paper introduced a hybrid decision-making algorithm, CBQL, to solve the multi-objective decision-making problem of eight-phase signal timing. The algorithm calculated the marginal contributions of each game member by solving the Shapley value function and constructed the state transition probability equation based on the Shapley value ratio. Compared to conventional control methods, CBQL-TSP incorporated the fairness principle of cooperative game theory and the adaptive learning ability of Q-learning, enabling dynamic adjustment of signal timing based on real-time traffic conditions. This method offered higher flexibility and efficiency in priority signal control. This paper established a simulation test platform to compare the average waiting car count and average travel time under different demand levels, evaluating the stability and efficiency of the method. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method exhibits higher stability. Furthermore, the overall average travel time is reduced by approximately 24.57%, and the average travel time for buses is reduced by about 37.40%. CBQL-TSP demonstrates higher control efficiency at bus-priority intersections, significantly reducing both overall and bus average travel times.
