Abstract: We investigate the problem of providing coordinated route recommendations to subway passengers to reduce peak-hour congestion and improve social distancing during a pandemic such as COVID-19. We develop TransMARL, a model-free method that combines multi-agent reinforcement learning and curriculum learning to learn optimal routing policies by interacting with the environment. Furthermore, TransMARL is simple in design and adapts the framework of centralized training with decentralized execution. Applying TransMARL to the busy Taipei Metro network with more than 2 million daily ridership, our simulation result shows that overcrowded passengers can be reduced by more than 50% with less than 10 minutes increasing traveling time when 20% or more passengers follow the provided route guidance. The result outperforms previous well-known transit assignment methods, e.g., the all-or-nothing and stochastic user equilibrium.
