Abstract
This paper describes a system whose overall goal is to utilize ontologies to enhance the capabilities and performance of autonomous vehicles, particularly in the area of navigation planning. Our approach is to develop an ontology of objects based upon a theory of obstacles. Automated reasoning over the ontology will estimate the damage that would be incurred by collisions with different types of objects that could be encountered during on-road driving. The supporting autonomous vehicle infrastructure is based on the 4D/RCS architecture developed at NIST.Citation
