Abstract: We present a novel approach to Traffic Signal Control (TSC) in a multi-agent environment by modeling communication among agents as a sequence problem, enabling intersections within road networks to communicate with one another. Taking inspiration from point cloud processing and graph neural networks, we make our architecture capable of handling variable road network topologies, including differing numbers of intersections and intersection types, and demonstrate this by successfully training on real & randomly generated road networks and traffic demands. Furthermore, we demonstrate that even utilizing minimal state information can achieve competitive performance.
