Towards Autonomous Railway Operations: A Semi-Hierarchical Deep Reinforcement Learning Approach to the Vehicle Rescheduling Problem
Researchers introduce a semi-hierarchical deep reinforcement learning approach to optimize railway vehicle rescheduling and traffic management. The method outperforms traditional operational research and monolithic RL baselines by nearly doubling train arrivals while maintaining low deadlock rates, demonstrating viable autonomous railway operations at scale.
