A Definition and Framework for Vehicular Knowledge Networking

To operate intelligent vehicular applications such as automated driving, machine learning, artificial intelligence and other mechanisms are used to abstract from information what is commonly referred to as knowledge. Defined as a state of understanding obtained through experience and analysis of collected information, knowledge is promising for vehicular applications. However, it lacks a unified framework to be cooperatively created and shared to achieve its full potential. This paper investigates on the meaning and scope of knowledge applied to vehicular networks, and suggests a structure for vehicular knowledge description, storage and sharing. Through the example of passenger comfort-based rerouting, it exposes the potential benefits for network load and delay of such knowledge structuring.
