This repo implements start-of-the-art mutli-agent (decentralized) deep RL algorithms for large-scale traffic signal control in SUMO-simulated environments.
Available cooperation levels:
- Centralized: a global agent that makes global control w/ global observation, reward.
- Decentralized: multiple local agents that make local control independently w/ neighborhood information sharing.
Available NN layers: Fully-connected, LSTM.
Available algorithms: IQL, IA2C, IA2C with stabilization (called MA2C).

First define all hyperparameters in a config file under [config_dir], and create the base directory of experiements [base_dir]. Before the training, SUMO xml files have to be generated by calling build_file.py under [environment_dir]/data/.
To train a new agent, run
python3 main.py --base-dir [base_dir] train --config-dir [config_dir] --test-mode no_test
no_test is suggested, since it may slow down the training speed.
To access tensorboard during training, run
tensorboard --logdir=[base_dir]/log
To evaluate and compare trained agents, run
python3 main.py --base-dir [base_dir] evaluate --agents [agent names] --evaluate-seeds [seeds]
Evaluation data will be output to [base_dir]/eva_data, and make sure evaluation seeds are different from those used in training.
