Abstract

The purpose of the work described in this paper is to analyze rule-based and functional tools to determine which are best suited for cost generation in an autonomous vehicular system. In this context, costs are numeric values that represent a penalty the vehicle incurs by taking a certain action or occupying a state. Based on the requirements for this application, the re- sults showed that Tool A was the most promising for future research.
