Learning How to Dynamically Route Autonomous Vehicles on Shared Roads

Understand

Road congestion induces significant costs across the world, and road network disturbances, such as traffic accidents, can cause highly congested traffic patterns.

• If a planner had control over the routing of all vehicles in the network, they could easily reverse this effect.
• In a more realistic scenario, we consider a planner that controls autonomous cars, which are a fraction of all present cars.
• We study a dynamic routing game, in which the route choices of autonomous cars can be controlled and the human drivers react selfishly and dynamically.
