Researchers have developed DGLight, a novel framework that fine-tunes large language models for traffic signal control. This approach utilizes a Deep Q-Network critic to guide the optimization process, enabling the model to generate interpretable reasoning traces alongside signal decisions. Experiments in Jinan and Hangzhou demonstrated DGLight's superior performance compared to other LLM-based controllers and its competitiveness with established reinforcement learning methods, also showing good transferability to new city datasets.
