Abstract:
Recent advances in the field of intelligent vehicles have shown that it is possible nowadays to provide the driver with useful assistance systems, or even letting a car drive autonomously over long distances on highways. Usually these approaches are on a rather quantitative level. A knowledge-based approach as presented here has the advantage of a better comprehensibility and allows for formulating and using common sense knowledge and traffic rules while reasoning. In our approach a knowledge base is the central component for higher-level functionality. A qualitative mapping module abstracts from the quantitative data and stores symbolic facts in the knowledge base. The knowledge-based approach allows for easily integrating and adjusting background knowledge. Higher-level modules can query the knowledge base in order to evaluate the situation and decide what actions to perform. For the evaluation of the approach a prototype was developed in order to simulate traffic scenarios. In experiments behavior decision was applied for controlling the vehicle and its gaze.
