RLFTSim: Realistic and Controllable Multi-Agent Traffic Simulation via Reinforcement Learning Fine-Tuning

2026-05-18 · Ehsan Ahmadi, Hunter Schofield, Behzad Khamidehi, Fazel Arasteh, Jinjun Shan, Lili Mou, Dongfeng Bai, Kasra Rezaee arxiv

Supervised open-loop training has been widely adopted for training traffic simulation models; however, it fails to capture the inherently dynamic, multi-agent interactions common in complex driving scenarios. We introduce RLFTSim, a reinforcement-learning-based fine-tuning framework that enhances scenario realism by aligning simulator rollouts with real-world data distributions and provides a method for distilling goal-conditioned controllability in scenario generation. We instantiate RLFTSim on top of a pre-trained simulation model, design a reward that balances fidelity and controllability, and perform comprehensive experiments on the Waymo Open Motion Dataset. Our results show improvements in realism, achieving state-of-the-art performance. Compared with other heuristic search-based fine-tuning methods, RLFTSim requires significantly fewer samples due to a proposed low-variance and dense reward signal, and it directly addresses the realism alignment issue by design. We also demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach for distilling traffic simulation controllability through goal conditioning.
