Explainability of Intelligent Transportation Systems using Knowledge Compilation: a Traffic Light Controller Case

Abstract

Usage of automated controllers which make decisions on an environment are widespread and are often based on black-box models. We use Knowledge Compilation theory to bring explainability to the controllers decision given the state of the system. For this, we use simulated historical state action data as input and build a compact and structured representation which relates states with actions. We implement this method in a Traffic Light Control scenario where the controller selects the light cycle by observing the presence (or absence) of vehicles in different regions of the incoming roads.
