Resumo

New technologies have the potential to transform urban mobility. Among the contributions, providing timely information to drivers via, e.g., apps, is proving valuable. However, providing the same information to nearly everyone is counterproductive. In this paper we extend previous works in which vehicles and the road infrastructure exchange information to allow drivers to make better informed decisions when using reinforcement learning. Here, we use non-local information to augment the knowledge elements of the infrastructure have. Moreover, we connect these elements when they have similar patterns related to multiple attributes, including emission of gases. Our results show that using augmented information leads to more efficiency.
