Motivation and Background

In the EU FP7 project SAFESPOT the authors consider "Road Intersection Safety" as an important application for Car2X / Car-to-Infrastructure Communication and their related local traffic management systems (LTMS) like traffic lights. According to them, intersections are the most complex environments and need special attention. They identified events like "obstructed view at intersection" and "permission denial to go-ahead" as intersection safety risks, which could lead to critical situations. Additionally, these systems should have the ability to react on a fast changing (traffic) environment.

However, standard sensor-based LTMS with limited memory and processing resources, still miss the methods and tools to detect events, analyze the situations by diagnosis, and react accordingly. This should lead to a reduction of maintenance and deployment costs, since the LTMS operate in a "plug and automate" manner. Further, a distributed environment has to be taken into account where different LTMS collaborate (and communicate) among themselves.

Goal of the Project

LocTraffLog aims to fill this gap by providing lightweight Knowledge Representation & Reasoning methods, which will be applied to support automatic parameter configuration and diagnosis in sensor-based LTMS. As a preliminary objective, we aim to develop an integration layer based on a sensor ontology for connecting different (stream-based) data from sensors and other data sources. Then we aim to fulfill the following objectives based on the integration layer:

LocTraffLog addresses the above objectives using "general" research methods for every objective, starting with an in-depth review of state-of-the-art methods and techniques. The methods and techniques are evaluated to check whether they are suitable for tractable (having polynomial complexity) reasoning taking into account the requirements, which are derived from the use-cases and the objectives.

For Objective 1 we will combine ontologies and rule-based technologies for spatial stream-reasoning, which should lead to complex event processing. In Objective 2, we will enable model-based diagnosis by defining a formal diagnosis problem and then encoding the problem into a standard evaluation method from Logic Programming. For Objective 3, we extend the model-based diagnosis by an optimization step w.r.t some cost function and a repair step, whereas the repairs could be decoded back to parameter and commands of a LTMS.

Besides publications and the PhD thesis of Patrik Schneider, the project results will be a background knowledge base (BKB) for LTMS represented by a lightweight ontology, a rule-based framework for complex event processing and model-based diagnosis with an optimization and a repair step. Finally, we will provide an implementation of a prototype in a distributed (peer-to-peer) environment, which will be used for qualitative and quantitative evaluation.

State of the Project and Outlook

The project started in October 2015 and will end int October 2018.
