This paper focuses on developing efficient numerical algorithms to solve the stochastic Green Light Optimal Speed Advisory (GLOSA) problem. Two modified versions of Dynamic Programming, namely Discrete Differential Dynamic Programming (DDDP) and Differential Dynamic Programming (DDP), are proposed and tested. The results show that these algorithms can achieve instantaneous or extremely fast solutions with reduced computation times compared to the standard SDP algorithm.
A discrete-time stochastic optimal control problem was recently proposed to address the GLOSA (Green Light Optimal Speed Advisory) problem in cases where the next signal switching time is decided in real time and is therefore uncertain in advance. The corresponding numerical solution via SDP (Stochastic Dynamic Programming) calls for substantial computation time, which excludes problem solution in the vehicle's on-board computer in real time. In this context, the present paper concentrates on the challenge of developing numerical algorithms to solve efficiently the stochastic GLOSA problem. As a first attempt to overcome the computation time bottleneck, a modified version of Dynamic Programming, known as Discrete Differential Dynamic Programming (DDDP) was recently employed for the numerical solution of the stochastic optimal control problem and was demonstrated to achieve results equivalent to those obtained with the ordinary SDP algorithm, albeit with significantly reduced computation times. After an outline of the DDDP approach, the present work considers a second modified version of Dynamic Programming, known as Differential Dynamic Programming (DDP). For the stochastic GLOSA problem, it is demonstrated that DDP achieves quasi-instantaneous (extremely fast) solutions in terms of CPU times, which allows for the proposed approach to be readily executable online, in an MPC (Model Predictive Control) framework, in the vehicle's on-board computer. The novel numerical approach is tested and demonstrated by use of realistic examples and is compared to the SDP and DDDP solutions. It should be noted that DDP does not require discretization of variables, hence the obtained solutions may be slightly superior to the standard SDP solutions.
