Advancements in technology and the emergence of vehicle-to-everything communication encourage new research approaches. Continuously sharing data through the onboard unit, connected vehicles (CVs) have proven to be a valuable source of real-time microscopic traffic data. Utilizing CVs as mobile sensors is a key driver for traffic safety improvement and increasing the effective operative road capacity. Data obtained from CVs can be effectively processed using speed transition matrices (STMs) while preserving spatial and temporal characteristics. This research proposes a new approach to adaptive traffic signal control utilizing STMs and a cooperative multi-agent learning system for the environment of CVs. To confirm its effectiveness, the concept is tested in a simulated environment of an intersection network, comparing different CVs’ penetration rates and cooperation coefficients between agents.
