Artificial Transportation System constrution based on ontology-based knowledge base systems

Artificial Transportation Systems (ATS) provide a comprehensive perspective to study actual transportation systems, which are a kind of open and complex giant system referring to diverse engineering and social disciplines. To make use of achievements from related research fields, ontology for ATS is constructed in this paper. Besides conceptual model involved in modeling and applications of ATS, the compatibility with other ontology is considered. Further, an ontological knowledge base with SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) is designed to manage information and knowledge in ATS. The architecture and interfaces of the knowledge base are presented. Benefit from this, construction and applications of ATS can be conducted on a uniform information and knowledge platform. A case study about traffic jam pattern is demonstrated.
