Back-Pressure Traffic Signal Control in the Presence of Noisy Queue Information

• In this paper, we consider decentralized traffic signal control policies using the max-weight algorithm when the queue size measurement is noisy. We first show analytically that the standard max-weight algorithm is throughput optimal even under noisy queue measurements. However, the average steady-state queue lengths and subsequently the average delays are increased. In order to alleviate the effect of these noisy measurements we add filtering to the max-weight algorithm; more specifically, we propose the Filtered-max-weight algorithm, which is based on particle filtering. We demonstrate via simulations that the Filtered-max-weight algorithm performs better than the standard max-weight algorithm in the presence of noisy measurements.
