Popis: Traffic congestion is a persistent problem in urban areas, which calls for the development of effective traffic signal control (TSC) systems. While existing Reinforcement Learning (RL)-based methods have shown promising performance in optimizing TSC, it is challenging to generalize these methods across intersections of different structures. In this work, a universal RL-based TSC framework is proposed for Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) environments. The proposed framework introduces a novel agent design that incorporates a junction matrix to characterize intersection states, making the proposed model applicable to diverse intersections. To equip the proposed RL-based framework with enhanced capability of handling various intersection structures, novel traffic state augmentation methods are tailor-made for signal light control systems. Finally, extensive experimental results derived from multiple intersection configurations confirm the effectiveness of the proposed framework.
