Joint-Local Grounded Action Transformation for Sim-to-Real Transfer in Multi-Agent Traffic Control

Reinforcement Learning Journal, 2025 • Presented at RLC 2025

Turnau, J., Da, L., Vo, K., Al Rafi, F., Bachiraju, S., Chen, T., & Wei, H. (2025). Reinforcement Learning Journal, 6, 2271–2290.

This work addresses the sim-to-real gap in multi-agent reinforcement learning for traffic signal control, proposing a novel action transformation approach that enables policies trained in simulation to transfer effectively to real-world scenarios.
