Real-time adaptive traffic control is an important problem in modern world. Historically, various optimization methods have been used to build adaptive traffic signal control systems. Recently, reinforcement learning has been advanced, and various papers showed efficiency of Deep-Q-Learning (DQN) in solving traffic control problems and providing real-time adaptive control for traffic, decreasing traffic pressure and lowering average travel time for drivers. In this paper we consider the problem of traffic signal control, present the basics of reinforcement learning and review the latest results in this area.
