Stability Mechanism and Control Factors on Equipment Removal Area under “Goaf-Roof-Coal” Structure by Zhongshun Chen, Yong Yuan, Cheng Zhu, Wenmiao Wang

“…The shear failure zone, which is controlled by shield working resistance and roof supporting strength, is the main cause of the failure in the removal area. To minimize the shear failure zone, several measures such as optimizing the end position for LM face, decreasing the width of removal area, and increasing the amount of cable support were taken to ensure the stability of surrounding rock in removal area, which have successfully controlled the damage of roof and equipment in Panel 31102. …”

Pri-DDQN: learning adaptive traffic signal control strategy through a hybrid agent by Yanliu Zheng, Juan Luo, Han Gao, Yi Zhou, Keqin Li

“…In this paper, we propose a new single-intersection traffic signal control method (Pri-DDQN) based on reinforcement learning and model the traffic environment as a reinforcement learning environment, and the agent chooses the best action to schedule the traffic flow at the intersection based on the real-time traffic states. With the goal of minimizing the waiting time and queue length at intersections, we use double DQN to train the agent, incorporate traffic state and reward into the loss function, and update the target network parameters asynchronously, to improve the agent’s learning ability. …”
