Abstract

A driving assistance system includes at least one receiving module designed to receive perception data from a driving environment, a control module designed to control an on-board system, a conversion module designed to generate, on the basis of the perception data, a plurality of instances of classes of an ontology stored by the driving assistance system and defining relations between classes, and a reasoning tool designed to deduce, on the basis of the ontology, at least one property of an instance of the plurality. The control module is designed to control the on-board system on the basis of the deduced property.

First claim

1 - 10 . (canceled)

11 . A driving assistance system, comprising:
at least one receiving module designed to receive perception data from a driving environment; a control module designed to control an on-board system; a conversion module designed to generate, on the basis of the perception data, a plurality of instances of classes of an ontology stored by the driving assistance system and defining relations between classes; and a reasoning tool designed to deduce, on the basis of the ontology, at least one property of an instance of said plurality, wherein the control module is designed to control the on-board system on the basis of the deduced property.

12 . The driving assistance system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the conversion module comprises a unit for the construction of a digital world comprising objects determined on the basis of the perception data, and a unit for the creation of said instances on the basis of the determined objects.

13 . The driving assistance system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the perception data comprise proprioceptive data transmitted by an on-board computer.

14 . The driving assistance system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the perception data comprise localization data generated by a localization system.

15 . The driving assistance system as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the perception data comprise localization data generated by a localization system, and wherein the construction unit comprises a subunit for the generation of a digital horizon designed to determine at least one of said objects on the basis of the localization data and of a digital map.

16 . The driving assistance system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the perception data comprise measurement data generated by a sensor.

17 . The driving assistance system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the perception data comprise external knowledge data received from a communication system.

18 . The driving assistance system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the on-board system is a warning device.

19 . The driving assistance system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the on-board system is an actuator.

20 . A method implemented in a driving assistance system, comprising:
receiving perception data from a driving environment; generating, on the basis of the perception data, a plurality of instances of classes of an ontology stored by the driving assistance system and defining the relations between classes; deducing, by a reasoning tool and on the basis of the ontology, at least one property of an instance of said plurality; and controlling an on-board system on the basis of the deduced property.
