Abstract

This paper presents a multi-agent license plate recognition system, specifically designed to address the diverse and challenging nature of license plates. Utilizing a multi-agent architecture with agents operating in individual Docker containers and orchestrated by Kubernetes, the system demonstrates remarkable adaptability and scalability. It leverages advanced neural networks, trained on a comprehensive dataset, to accurately identify various license plate types under dynamic conditions. The system’s efficacy is showcased through its three-layered approach, encompassing data collection, processing, and result compilation, significantly outperforming traditional license plate recognition (LPR) systems. This innovation not only marks a technological leap in license plate recognition but also offers strategic solutions for enhancing traffic management and smart city infrastructure globally.

Abstract

Due to the rapid growth of urban vehicles, traffic congestion has become more serious. The signalized intersections are used all over the world and still established in the new construction. This paper proposes a self-adapted approach, called evolutionary reinforcement learning multi-agents system (ERL-MA), which combines computational intelligence and machine learning. The concept of this work is to build an intelligent agent capable of developing senior skills to manage the traffic light control system at any type of junction, using two powerful tools: learning from the confronted experience and the assumption using the randomization concept. The ERL-MA is an independent multi-agents system composed of two layers: the modeling and the decision layers. The modeling layer uses the intersection modeling using generalized fuzzy graph technique. The decision layer uses two methods: the novel greedy genetic algorithm (NGGA), and the Q-learning. In the Q-learning method, a multi Q-tables strategy and a new reward formula are proposed. The experiments used in this work relied on a real case of study with a simulation of one-hour scenario at Pasubio area in Italy. The obtained results show that the ERL-MA system succeeds to achieve competitive results comparing to urban traffic optimization by integrated automation (UTOPIA) system using different metrics.
