Research on multi-Agent system for transportation monitoring

A multi-Agent system,which is distributed among moving vehicles,is proposed for transportation monitoring.Ontology is written in OWL to describe the transportation monitoring concepts and the relationship between them,so to facilitate semantic information queries between Agents.On top of it,an open and heterogeneous transportation information system can be constructed.Agent system is built on the base of JADE platform.The developed Agent has an inside ontology model based on description logic,and its communication is based on OWL.The information inquiries comply with SPARQL.Simulation proves the feasibility of the system.
