Abstract: In order to solve these problems, this paper introduced the grey system theory (GST) method in the real-time application of intelligent traffic signal optimization (ITSO). In this paper, the deep Q-network (DQN) algorithm was used to realize the dynamic signal light setting of real-time traffic conditions, which can improve the overall operating efficiency of the traffic system, and the PPO (Proximal Policy Optimization) algorithm was used to solve the problem of the lack of real-time performance of the traditional traffic signal optimization methods. By comparing the traffic congestion index of S city before and after the application of the GST method, the paper found that the average one week before the application was 60.1%, but it dropped to 26.6% after the application. In the experimental test of average speed comparison, the speed after applying the GST method was generally higher than the value before application, and the overall speed increase was about 20 km/h. This paper emphasizes the importance of evaluating the robustness of the GST method, particularly in its ability to manage unexpected scenarios. The research concentrates on assessing four critical indicators: outlier handling, noise tolerance, handling missing data, and nonlinear coping ability.
