Abstract

Due to the fast growth of cities worldwide, roads are increasing daily, and pavement maintenance has become very heavy and costly. Despite all efforts made under the pavement management system to keep the road surface in good shape, several road sections need to be in better condition, which presents a danger for drivers and pedestrians. This paper proposes a novel pavement 3D reconstruction and segmentation approach using the structure from motion technique, unmanned aerial vehicle, and digital camera. The method consists of the 3D modeling of the road by using images taken from different perspectives and the structure from motion technique. In this method, points cloud is sampled and cleaned using statistical outlier removal and noise filters. After that, duplicated and isolated points are eliminated to retain only significant data. The normal road plane is estimated using the principal component analysis technique and the remaining points. This plan presents a root mean square less than 0.85 cm. Finally, distances from those points to the normal plane are calculated and clustered to segment the road into distressed and non-distressed areas. The proposed approach presents a similarity rate to the survey measurement passed 95%. It has demonstrated promising results and has the potential for further improvement by optimizing various steps.

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. TheĀ 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.
