This paper presents a decentralized multi-agent system for intelligent traffic management in urban environments, where each agent represents a traffic light controller at an intersection. The proposed system leverages a combination of Distributed W-Learning and Deep Q-Networks (DQN) to optimize traffic flow. Distributed W-Learning enables agents to prioritize decisions based on multiple performance policies, while DQN enhances their ability to handle complex state-action mappings through neural network approximations. By utilizing locally available traffic data, each agent adapts dynamically to diverse traffic conditions. The integration of these machine learning techniques ensures a fully decentralized and self-organizing approach, minimizing congestion, improving traffic efficiency, and addressing multiple objectives simultaneously. Simulation experiments are conducted using SUMO (Simulation of Urban MObility) to evaluate the system's performance in realistic traffic scenarios. This study highlights the potential of combining Distributed W-Learning and DQN in multi-agent reinforcement learning to revolutionize traffic management systems and achieve scalable, adaptive, and efficient urban traffic control.
