与今天使用的空中冲突检测和分辨率（CD \＆R）工具（ATCO）使用的战术冲突检测和分辨率（CD \＆R）相比，密集且复杂的空中交通情况需要更高的自动化水平。但是，空中交通管制（ATC）域（安全至关重要）需要操作员舒适地放弃控制的AI系统，从而确保运营完整性和自动化采用。实现该目标的两个主要因素是解决方案的质量和决策的透明度。本文建议使用在多构想环境中运行的图形卷积加强学习方法，每个代理（飞行）执行CD \＆R任务，并与其他代理共同执行。我们表明，这种方法可以提供有关利益相关者利益（空中交通管制员和空域用户）的高质量解决方案，从而解决了运营透明度问题。

Compared with model-based control and optimization methods, reinforcement learning (RL) provides a data-driven, learning-based framework to formulate and solve sequential decision-making problems. The RL framework has become promising due to largely improved data availability and computing power in the aviation industry. Many aviation-based applications can be formulated or treated as sequential decision-making problems. Some of them are offline planning problems, while others need to be solved online and are safety-critical. In this survey paper, we first describe standard RL formulations and solutions. Then we survey the landscape of existing RL-based applications in aviation. Finally, we summarize the paper, identify the technical gaps, and suggest future directions of RL research in aviation.

Proper functioning of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) is crucial for the safety and efficiency of future intelligent transport systems. Meanwhile, transitioning to fully autonomous driving requires a long period of mixed autonomy traffic, including both CAVs and human-driven vehicles. Thus, collaboration decision-making for CAVs is essential to generate appropriate driving behaviors to enhance the safety and efficiency of mixed autonomy traffic. In recent years, deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has been widely used in solving decision-making problems. However, the existing DRL-based methods have been mainly focused on solving the decision-making of a single CAV. Using the existing DRL-based methods in mixed autonomy traffic cannot accurately represent the mutual effects of vehicles and model dynamic traffic environments. To address these shortcomings, this article proposes a graph reinforcement learning (GRL) approach for multi-agent decision-making of CAVs in mixed autonomy traffic. First, a generic and modular GRL framework is designed. Then, a systematic review of DRL and GRL methods is presented, focusing on the problems addressed in recent research. Moreover, a comparative study on different GRL methods is further proposed based on the designed framework to verify the effectiveness of GRL methods. Results show that the GRL methods can well optimize the performance of multi-agent decision-making for CAVs in mixed autonomy traffic compared to the DRL methods. Finally, challenges and future research directions are summarized. This study can provide a valuable research reference for solving the multi-agent decision-making problems of CAVs in mixed autonomy traffic and can promote the implementation of GRL-based methods into intelligent transportation systems.

最先进的多机构增强学习（MARL）方法为各种复杂问题提供了有希望的解决方案。然而，这些方法都假定代理执行同步的原始操作执行，因此它们不能真正可扩展到长期胜利的真实世界多代理/机器人任务，这些任务固有地要求代理/机器人以异步的理由，涉及有关高级动作选择的理由。不同的时间。宏观行动分散的部分可观察到的马尔可夫决策过程（MACDEC-POMDP）是在完全合作的多代理任务中不确定的异步决策的一般形式化。在本论文中，我们首先提出了MacDec-Pomdps的一组基于价值的RL方法，其中允许代理在三个范式中使用宏观成果功能执行异步学习和决策：分散学习和控制，集中学习，集中学习和控制，以及分散执行的集中培训（CTDE）。在上述工作的基础上，我们在三个训练范式下制定了一组基于宏观行动的策略梯度算法，在该训练范式下，允许代理以异步方式直接优化其参数化策略。我们在模拟和真实的机器人中评估了我们的方法。经验结果证明了我们在大型多代理问题中的方法的优势，并验证了我们算法在学习具有宏观actions的高质量和异步溶液方面的有效性。

小型无人驾驶飞机的障碍避免对于未来城市空袭（UAM）和无人机系统（UAS）交通管理（UTM）的安全性至关重要。有许多技术用于实时强大的无人机指导，但其中许多在离散的空域和控制中解决，这将需要额外的路径平滑步骤来为UA提供灵活的命令。为提供无人驾驶飞机的操作安全有效的计算指导，我们探讨了基于近端政策优化（PPO）的深增强学习算法的使用，以指导自主UA到其目的地，同时通过连续控制避免障碍物。所提出的场景状态表示和奖励功能可以将连续状态空间映射到连续控制，以便进行标题角度和速度。为了验证所提出的学习框架的性能，我们用静态和移动障碍进行了数值实验。详细研究了与环境和安全操作界限的不确定性。结果表明，该拟议的模型可以提供准确且强大的指导，并解决了99％以上的成功率的冲突。

在人工多智能体系中，学习协作政策的能力是基于代理商的沟通技巧，他们必须能够编码从环境中收到的信息，并学习如何与手头任务所要求的其他代理分享它。我们介绍了一个深度加强学习方法，连接驱动的通信（CDC），促进了多种子体协作行为的出现，仅通过经验。代理被建模为加权图的节点，其状态相关的边缘编码可以交换的对方式。我们介绍了一种依赖于图形的关注机制，可以控制代理的传入消息如何加权。此机制完全核对图表所表示的系统的当前状态，并在捕获信息如何在图中流动的扩散过程中构建。图形拓扑未被假定已知先验，但在代理人的观察中动态依赖于代理人，并以端到端的方式与注意机制和政策同时学习。我们的经验结果表明，CDC能够学习有效的协作政策，并可以在合作导航任务上过度执行竞争学习算法。

Autonomous vehicles are suited for continuous area patrolling problems. However, finding an optimal patrolling strategy can be challenging for many reasons. Firstly, patrolling environments are often complex and can include unknown and evolving environmental factors. Secondly, autonomous vehicles can have failures or hardware constraints such as limited battery lives. Importantly, patrolling large areas often requires multiple agents that need to collectively coordinate their actions. In this work, we consider these limitations and propose an approach based on a distributed, model-free deep reinforcement learning based multi-agent patrolling strategy. In this approach, agents make decisions locally based on their own environmental observations and on shared information. In addition, agents are trained to automatically recharge themselves when required to support continuous collective patrolling. A homogeneous multi-agent architecture is proposed, where all patrolling agents have an identical policy. This architecture provides a robust patrolling system that can tolerate agent failures and allow supplementary agents to be added to replace failed agents or to increase the overall patrol performance. This performance is validated through experiments from multiple perspectives, including the overall patrol performance, the efficiency of the battery recharging strategy, the overall robustness of the system, and the agents' ability to adapt to environment dynamics.

The high emission and low energy efficiency caused by internal combustion engines (ICE) have become unacceptable under environmental regulations and the energy crisis. As a promising alternative solution, multi-power source electric vehicles (MPS-EVs) introduce different clean energy systems to improve powertrain efficiency. The energy management strategy (EMS) is a critical technology for MPS-EVs to maximize efficiency, fuel economy, and range. Reinforcement learning (RL) has become an effective methodology for the development of EMS. RL has received continuous attention and research, but there is still a lack of systematic analysis of the design elements of RL-based EMS. To this end, this paper presents an in-depth analysis of the current research on RL-based EMS (RL-EMS) and summarizes the design elements of RL-based EMS. This paper first summarizes the previous applications of RL in EMS from five aspects: algorithm, perception scheme, decision scheme, reward function, and innovative training method. The contribution of advanced algorithms to the training effect is shown, the perception and control schemes in the literature are analyzed in detail, different reward function settings are classified, and innovative training methods with their roles are elaborated. Finally, by comparing the development routes of RL and RL-EMS, this paper identifies the gap between advanced RL solutions and existing RL-EMS. Finally, this paper suggests potential development directions for implementing advanced artificial intelligence (AI) solutions in EMS.

尽管深度强化学习（RL）最近取得了许多成功，但其方法仍然效率低下，这使得在数据方面解决了昂贵的许多问题。我们的目标是通过利用未标记的数据中的丰富监督信号来进行学习状态表示，以解决这一问题。本文介绍了三种不同的表示算法，可以访问传统RL算法使用的数据源的不同子集使用：（i）GRICA受到独立组件分析（ICA）的启发，并训练深层神经网络以输出统计独立的独立特征。输入。 Grica通过最大程度地减少每个功能与其他功能之间的相互信息来做到这一点。此外，格里卡仅需要未分类的环境状态。 （ii）潜在表示预测（LARP）还需要更多的上下文：除了要求状态作为输入外，它还需要先前的状态和连接它们的动作。该方法通过预测当前状态和行动的环境的下一个状态来学习状态表示。预测器与图形搜索算法一起使用。 （iii）重新培训通过训练深层神经网络来学习国家表示，以学习奖励功能的平滑版本。该表示形式用于预处理输入到深度RL，而奖励预测指标用于奖励成型。此方法仅需要环境中的状态奖励对学习表示表示。我们发现，每种方法都有其优势和缺点，并从我们的实验中得出结论，包括无监督的代表性学习在RL解决问题的管道中可以加快学习的速度。

在包装交付，交通监控，搜索和救援操作以及军事战斗订婚等不同应用中，对使用无人驾驶汽车（UAV）（无人机）的需求越来越不断增加。在所有这些应用程序中，无人机用于自动导航环境 - 没有人类互动，执行特定任务并避免障碍。自主无人机导航通常是使用强化学习（RL）来完成的，在该学习中，代理在域中充当专家在避免障碍的同时导航环境。了解导航环境和算法限制在选择适当的RL算法以有效解决导航问题方面起着至关重要的作用。因此，本研究首先确定了无人机导航任务，并讨论导航框架和仿真软件。接下来，根据环境，算法特征，能力和不同无人机导航问题的应用程序对RL算法进行分类和讨论，这将帮助从业人员和研究人员为其无人机导航使用情况选择适当的RL算法。此外，确定的差距和机会将推动无人机导航研究。

自动驾驶在过去二十年中吸引了重要的研究兴趣，因为它提供了许多潜在的好处，包括释放驾驶和减轻交通拥堵的司机等。尽管进展有前途，但车道变化仍然是自治车辆（AV）的巨大挑战，特别是在混合和动态的交通方案中。最近，强化学习（RL）是一种强大的数据驱动控制方法，已被广泛探索了在令人鼓舞的效果中的通道中的车道改变决策。然而，这些研究的大多数研究专注于单车展，并且在多个AVS与人类驱动车辆（HDV）共存的情况下，道路变化已经受到稀缺的关注。在本文中，我们在混合交通公路环境中制定了多个AVS的车道改变决策，作为多功能增强学习（Marl）问题，其中每个AV基于相邻AV的动作使车道变化的决定和HDV。具体地，使用新颖的本地奖励设计和参数共享方案开发了一种多代理优势演员批评网络（MA2C）。特别是，提出了一种多目标奖励功能来纳入燃油效率，驾驶舒适度和自主驾驶的安全性。综合实验结果，在三种不同的交通密度和各级人类司机侵略性下进行，表明我们所提出的Marl框架在效率，安全和驾驶员舒适方面始终如一地优于几个最先进的基准。

Multi-agent settings remain a fundamental challenge in the reinforcement learning (RL) domain due to the partial observability and the lack of accurate real-time interactions across agents. In this paper, we propose a new method based on local communication learning to tackle the multi-agent RL (MARL) challenge within a large number of agents coexisting. First, we design a new communication protocol that exploits the ability of depthwise convolution to efficiently extract local relations and learn local communication between neighboring agents. To facilitate multi-agent coordination, we explicitly learn the effect of joint actions by taking the policies of neighboring agents as inputs. Second, we introduce the mean-field approximation into our method to reduce the scale of agent interactions. To more effectively coordinate behaviors of neighboring agents, we enhance the mean-field approximation by a supervised policy rectification network (PRN) for rectifying real-time agent interactions and by a learnable compensation term for correcting the approximation bias. The proposed method enables efficient coordination as well as outperforms several baseline approaches on the adaptive traffic signal control (ATSC) task and the StarCraft II multi-agent challenge (SMAC).

在过去的十年中，多智能经纪人强化学习（Marl）已经有了重大进展，但仍存在许多挑战，例如高样本复杂性和慢趋同稳定的政策，在广泛的部署之前需要克服，这是可能的。然而，在实践中，许多现实世界的环境已经部署了用于生成策略的次优或启发式方法。一个有趣的问题是如何最好地使用这些方法作为顾问，以帮助改善多代理领域的加强学习。在本文中，我们提供了一个原则的框架，用于将动作建议纳入多代理设置中的在线次优顾问。我们描述了在非传记通用随机游戏环境中提供多种智能强化代理（海军上将）的问题，并提出了两种新的基于Q学习的算法：海军上将决策（海军DM）和海军上将 - 顾问评估（Admiral-AE） ，这使我们能够通过适当地纳入顾问（Admiral-DM）的建议来改善学习，并评估顾问（Admiral-AE）的有效性。我们从理论上分析了算法，并在一般加上随机游戏中提供了关于他们学习的定点保证。此外，广泛的实验说明了这些算法：可以在各种环境中使用，具有对其他相关基线的有利相比的性能，可以扩展到大状态行动空间，并且对来自顾问的不良建议具有稳健性。

由于互动交通参与者的随机性质和道路结构的复杂性，城市自动驾驶的决策是具有挑战性的。尽管基于强化的学习（RL）决策计划有望处理城市驾驶方案，但它的样本效率低和适应性差。在本文中，我们提出了Scene-Rep Transformer，以通过更好的场景表示编码和顺序预测潜在蒸馏来提高RL决策能力。具体而言，构建了多阶段变压器（MST）编码器，不仅对自我车辆及其邻居之间的相互作用意识进行建模，而且对代理商及其候选路线之间的意图意识。具有自我监督学习目标的连续潜伏变压器（SLT）用于将未来的预测信息提炼成潜在的场景表示，以减少勘探空间并加快训练的速度。基于软演员批评的最终决策模块（SAC）将来自场景rep变压器的精制潜在场景表示输入，并输出驾驶动作。该框架在五个挑战性的模拟城市场景中得到了验证，其性能通过成功率，安全性和效率方面的数据效率和性能的大幅度提高来定量表现出来。定性结果表明，我们的框架能够提取邻居代理人的意图，以帮助做出决策并提供更多多元化的驾驶行为。

With the development of deep representation learning, the domain of reinforcement learning (RL) has become a powerful learning framework now capable of learning complex policies in high dimensional environments. This review summarises deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithms and provides a taxonomy of automated driving tasks where (D)RL methods have been employed, while addressing key computational challenges in real world deployment of autonomous driving agents. It also delineates adjacent domains such as behavior cloning, imitation learning, inverse reinforcement learning that are related but are not classical RL algorithms. The role of simulators in training agents, methods to validate, test and robustify existing solutions in RL are discussed.

We consider the problem of multi-agent navigation and collision avoidance when observations are limited to the local neighborhood of each agent. We propose InforMARL, a novel architecture for multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) which uses local information intelligently to compute paths for all the agents in a decentralized manner. Specifically, InforMARL aggregates information about the local neighborhood of agents for both the actor and the critic using a graph neural network and can be used in conjunction with any standard MARL algorithm. We show that (1) in training, InforMARL has better sample efficiency and performance than baseline approaches, despite using less information, and (2) in testing, it scales well to environments with arbitrary numbers of agents and obstacles.

我们介绍了AAM-GYM，这是一种高级空气流动性（AAM）的研发测试。 AAM有可能通过利用新型飞机（例如电动垂直起飞和降落（EVTOL）飞机）和新的高级人工智能（AI）算法来减少地面交通和排放来彻底改变旅行。 AI算法的验证需要代表性的AAM场景，以及快速的仿真测试以评估其性能。到目前为止，AAM还没有这样的测试床可以为政府，工业或学术界的个人提供一个共同的研究平台。麻省理工学院林肯实验室已经开发了AAM-GYM来解决这一差距，通过提供一个生态系统来开发，训练和验证各种AAM用例的新型AI算法。在本文中，我们使用AAM-GYM来研究AAM用例，AAM走廊中的分离保证的两种增强学习算法的性能。根据AAM-GYM提供的一系列指标，证明了两种算法的性能，显示了测试床对AAM研究的实用性。

Collaborative autonomous multi-agent systems covering a specified area have many potential applications, such as UAV search and rescue, forest fire fighting, and real-time high-resolution monitoring. Traditional approaches for such coverage problems involve designing a model-based control policy based on sensor data. However, designing model-based controllers is challenging, and the state-of-the-art classical control policy still exhibits a large degree of suboptimality. In this paper, we present a reinforcement learning (RL) approach for the multi-agent coverage problem involving agents with second-order dynamics. Our approach is based on the Multi-Agent Proximal Policy Optimization Algorithm (MAPPO). To improve the stability of the learning-based policy and efficiency of exploration, we utilize an imitation loss based on the state-of-the-art classical control policy. Our trained policy significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art. Our proposed network architecture includes incorporation of self attention, which allows a single-shot domain transfer of the trained policy to a large variety of domain shapes and number of agents. We demonstrate our proposed method in a variety of simulated experiments.
