FLDQN: Cooperative Multi-Agent Federated Reinforcement Learning for Solving Travel Time Minimization Problems in Dynamic Environments Using SUMO Simulation by Abdul Wahab Mamond, Majid Kundroo, Seong-eun Yoo, Seonghoon Kim, Taehong Kim

“…Using the SUMO simulator, multiple agents equipped with deep Q-learning models interact with their local environments, share model updates via a federated server, and collectively enhance their policies using unique local observations while benefiting from the collective experiences of other agents. Experimental evaluations demonstrate that FLDQN achieves a significant average reduction of over 34.6% in travel time compared to non-cooperative methods while simultaneously lowering the computational overhead through distributed learning. …”
